Connie Owens

Connie Owens, LCSW, CSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life’s challenges. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and work through grief or relationship strain. Her approach aims to make small, steady changes that add up over time.

Connie brings 25 years of clinical experience in Colorado and beyond. She combines Mindfulness Therapy with evidence-informed tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work. Sessions emphasize learning skills people can use between meetings, such as noticing thoughts, pacing activities, and practicing self-compassion.

Her background includes long experience with trauma, addictions, and complex grief. Connie describes her style as gentle but direct. She centers the whole person - mind, body, soul, and spirit - when developing a plan that fits each individual’s life and values.

Connie also uses attachment-focused ideas when relationship patterns are part of the concern. She draws on client-centered practices to keep the conversation grounded in what matters most to the person in front of her. Practical pacing and concrete steps are common parts of the work.

She supports people dealing with a wide range of issues including mood disorders, coping with life changes, eating and sleeping concerns, caregiver stress, and ADHD. Connie will collaborate on goals and teach skills so clients can maintain progress after sessions end.

How mindfulness and acceptance work in online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps people tune into present-moment experience without judgment. It teaches simple practices for noticing thoughts, breath, and body sensations so stress and reactivity become easier to manage. This approach is often used for anxiety, sleep trouble, and emotion regulation.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions that align with those values. It supports people facing life changes, depression, or chronic stress by combining acceptance strategies with behavior change techniques.

Connie approaches online work collaboratively. She will help identify which methods fit the client’s goals and daily routine, and then adjust techniques as needed. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and happens together over the first few sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week, keeping momentum when travel or relocation occurs, and making it easier to include homework practices like brief mindfulness exercises. The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work aims to integrate therapy into everyday life rather than require major schedule changes.
