Connie Fleming , LPC

Connie Fleming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. Her practice also addresses parenting and family concerns, career pressures, compassion fatigue, and attention-related struggles.

Connie uses a warm, compassionate style that aims to make people feel heard and understood. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She emphasizes clear communication and steady emotional support while people work through difficult feelings.

Her background includes long experience guiding people through loss and transitions. Grief-informed care is part of the work she does when loss affects mood, relationships, or daily routines. She also helps people untangle patterns tied to family of origin, attachment, and adoption or foster care histories.

Therapy sessions often cover relationship strain, blended family issues, divorce and separation, communication problems, and commitment or codependency concerns. Connie also addresses caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, and forgiveness work when those topics come up. She helps clients create concrete coping strategies and small behavior changes that add up over time.

Connie blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR tools when appropriate. The aim is practical progress rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Connie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small actions that align with what matters most. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent tool and it centers on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying concrete behavior experiments to shift mood and reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship patterns and attachment needs are central; it helps people name emotions and change how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Connie will work together with each client to choose which methods fit their goals, pace, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time and checks in to see what is working and what needs changing so therapy feels collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth needs, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins and written reflection. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or other daily demands while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
