About Connie
Connie Harrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the everyday stress of life changes. Her work often addresses family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, career stress, and codependency.
Connie draws on practical, talk-based methods so people leave sessions with clear next steps. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method. Sessions emphasize honest conversation, emotion recognition, and skill building to manage difficult feelings.
Much of her practice involves supporting people through transitions like midlife shifts, workplace pressure, and caregiving responsibilities. She also helps with blended family issues, divorce and separation, and the loneliness that can come with major life changes. Problems like guilt, shame, impulsivity, jealousy, and struggles with life purpose are also within her focus.
Connie aims to make therapy collaborative. She listens first to understand priorities and then tailors strategies that fit each person’s situation. Many clients work on improving communication, setting boundaries, and developing coping tools they can use between sessions.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She offers a calm space to talk through painful emotions and practical ways to move forward. People who want steady, experienced support for complicated emotions may find her approach helpful.
How Connie’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, feeling stuck, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. It often includes concrete exercises to try between sessions. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and managing conflict, which can be helpful for people navigating relationship strain and rebuilding trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences and then suggests methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
