About Constance
Constance Guthrie is an LMSW with seven years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer ways to respond when emotions run high.
She uses straightforward strategies rather than labels. Constance draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful therapeutic relationship. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and reducing impulsivity.
Her approach also includes mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and Motivational Interviewing to explore values and small change steps. Conversations often include short exercises and practice tasks people can try between sessions. The goal is to practice new ways of responding to frustration and resentment in everyday life.
Constance trained in social work at Oakland University and earned a master of social work degree from Michigan State University. Her credential is LMSW. She frames progress as a series of small, practical steps rather than a single solution.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
The profile lists Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among her main approaches. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify goals and priorities. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, more balanced ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood problems. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotion, tolerating distress, and reducing impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the situations that trigger anger. That may mean trying a few skills-based tools first, then adjusting the plan as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into work breaks, remove travel time, and let them practice skills between meetings. Online sessions can make it easier to follow a consistent schedule and to bring real-life examples from home or work into the conversation. If a shorter check-in or a longer skills practice would help, discuss that when scheduling to find a workable arrangement.
