Connie Chapman , LICSW

Connie Chapman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience providing therapy in Washington. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. Connie aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She builds sessions around clear, practical conversation. Clients can expect direct but compassionate discussion about what's causing day-to-day distress. Techniques may include work on thoughts and behaviors, processing past events, and improving communication skills to reduce conflict and isolation.

Connie uses approaches that fit a person's goals and pace. She often blends problem-solving strategies with deeper processing when traumatic memories or intense emotions are present. The work can include short-term skill building or longer-term exploration depending on what someone needs.

She is experienced in addressing related concerns such as abandonment, blended family challenges, chronic illness and pain, grief over separation or divorce, shame and guilt, infidelity, loneliness, mood and panic symptoms, and post-traumatic stress. Veterans and people with life-purpose questions have also been part of her practice.

Sessions are conducted in English and are organized to help people feel heard and understood. Connie focuses on small, practical steps clients can take between sessions to reduce overwhelm and begin shifting patterns that keep them stuck.

How Connie's Methods Work Online

Connie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on practical skills such as identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce stress.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories and reducing the intensity of painful past events. EMDR involves guided processing that can help lower the emotional charge of traumatic images and reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Connie will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. Together they choose or adapt methods so the work fits timing, comfort, and progress goals.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and keep consistent work on goals from different locations.
