About Connie
Connie Harrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, parenting strains, and anger. Connie also addresses career concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She commonly helps people dealing with midlife transitions, workplace pressure, and family dynamics. Connie pays attention to issues that come with aging and caregiving. She also supports those struggling with isolation, codependency, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity.
Connie uses direct conversations and practical exercises in sessions. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone is unsure about making changes.
For relationship concerns, elements of the Gottman Method are used to improve communication and reduce recurring conflict. Client-Centered Therapy principles guide the pace and focus of work, keeping the client's perspective central. Sessions typically include skill building, problem solving, and reflection so people leave with concrete next steps.
She frames anger as an understandable reaction and helps clients identify triggers, calm physiological responses, and practice new responses. Connie works collaboratively to set goals and track small changes over time. To begin, readers are encouraged to confirm current session options and follow the site's process to schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that matters despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can help with persistent anger, anxiety, and life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical tools to change patterns that keep stress and anger cycling. The Gottman Method brings specific communication skills for relationship conflict and recurring fights, aiming to reduce escalation and repair interactions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to test techniques, track small changes, and decide which methods to continue.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some formats require less bandwidth or do not use video, which can suit shorter check-ins or times when being on camera is difficult. Ask about current options when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
