About Connie
Connie Seth is an Iowa-licensed independent social worker with 30 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and self-esteem challenges.
Across her career she has helped people facing longer-term mood disorders and the practical strains of chronic illness, caregiving, and financial stress. She brings experience with problems that can build up over time, such as isolation, impulsivity, hoarding, and relationship betrayals like infidelity.
Her approach draws on several practical therapy models. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used for learning emotional regulation and coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy show up when people want short-term clarity and clear steps forward.
Connie also works with trauma-focused methods for people coming through abuse or other traumatic experiences. Sessions focus on clear goals, concrete skills, and real-world problem solving rather than abstract theory. She matches the work to what each person needs while keeping conversations straightforward.
Connie practices in Iowa and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients. To begin, people are asked to use the site matching tool and schedule an initial session after completing a short questionnaire.
How Connie’s approaches translate to online work
Connie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out different ways of thinking and acting to reduce angry reactions or persistent worry. DBT emphasizes learning specific emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage strong feelings and reduce impulsive responses.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to build motivation for change in small steps. Choosing an approach is collaborative: the therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
For practical matters, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so skills can be practiced between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT worksheets and coaching exercises to remote formats, focusing on concrete tools you can use outside sessions.
