About Connie

Connie Owens is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience practicing in Colorado. She works with people facing anger, addiction, trauma, relationship strain, grief, depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Connie speaks English and accepts international clients.

She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people recognize patterns that keep anger and resentment alive. Sessions focus on skills and actions a person can try between meetings. The aim is better day-to-day coping rather than quick fixes.

Connie combines several therapeutic styles in her work. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and on dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and closeness.

Her background includes long experience with substance use, trauma, grief, and chronic life stress. That history informs how she helps people rebuild routines, manage triggers, and reframe difficult situations. She also brings experience supporting clients through illness, caregiving strain, and workplace stress.

Connie describes her manner as direct but respectful. She uses client-centered practices to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals. Practical planning often includes steps around sleep, eating, and daily structure because these affect mood and reactivity.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Connie uses ACT, CBT and attachment ideas online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can be useful for chronic anger and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that fuel reactivity. That can be helpful for managing workplace frustration and repetitive angry thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how past relationship experiences shape current responses. It helps people understand why certain interactions trigger strong emotions and teaches different ways to seek connection and repair.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Connie collaborates with each person to decide which approaches match their goals, values, and daily demands. She adjusts tools and pacing so steps feel doable and relevant.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let someone avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same ACT, CBT, and attachment strategies in virtual sessions as they do in person, which lets clients practice new skills in the settings where their anger usually shows up.
