About Constance
Constance Akonumbo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep problems, anger, and other challenges. Constance draws on a mix of clinical approaches to help people make practical changes in their lives.
Before counseling, Constance worked in education and nursing. Those roles shaped her practical approach to care and how she listens for strengths and routines that already work. She describes therapy as a partnership built on trust, honesty, and clear communication.
Sessions focus on concrete steps: identifying patterns that cause distress, testing new responses, and building skills for everyday situations. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients notice thoughts and choose values-based actions. Narrative and existential perspectives help people make sense of their experiences and what matters to them.
Constance emphasizes the need for clients to make a conscious decision to change. She also offers coaching-style support to set achievable goals and practice new habits between sessions. Her style is interactive and direct, with encouragement to try specific strategies and then review what worked.
People who come to her for anger or impulse concerns can expect practical tools and steady follow-up. She also addresses related issues such as guilt, shame, control problems, communication difficulties, and isolation. Constance accepts clients from inside and outside the United States and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving space for clients to set their own goals and pace for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan over time based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
