About Connie

Connie Fleming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions find clearer ways to move forward. Her approach emphasizes steady support and practical steps that fit everyday life.

She uses grief-informed methods to help people process many kinds of loss. Connie often focuses on self-esteem, communication struggles, and social anxiety. She also supports clients dealing with career changes, parenting stresses, compassion fatigue, and attention challenges such as ADHD.

Connie brings a warm, calm presence to sessions. She aims to create a space where people can talk through painful feelings like guilt, shame, or isolation without feeling judged. Her style centers on empathy and creating emotional safety so clients can heal from past wounds and experiment with new ways of relating.

Her clinical toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She adapts techniques to each person’s needs rather than applying a fixed protocol.

Many clients come seeking help with relationships and communication problems, blended family or parenting concerns, or persistent feelings of emptiness and abandonment. Connie helps people set realistic goals, practice different skills between sessions, and track small changes that add up over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take actions that matter to them. It can help when anxiety or stress get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and respond to core emotions in relationships and personal struggles, which can improve communication and emotional regulation.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one method, combining elements, or adjusting techniques as progress is seen.

Confirm available session formats before booking if you need details. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet with licensed professionals from their community without rearranging major commitments. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they work with your schedule and daily responsibilities.
