About Cornelia

Connie also helps with issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
She uses practical, conversational work to help people name problems and try realistic solutions.

Connie draws on client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to keep sessions focused and useful.
Connie has long experience working in Native and Hispanic communities and is an enrolled Potawatomi tribal member.

Beyond counseling, she provides training to individuals and communities that addresses trauma and emphasizes resilience. Her approach aims to be collaborative and practical - she guides people to identify solutions that make sense in everyday life. She encourages straightforward conversation about goals and next steps.
People who work with Connie can expect a mix of short-term strategies and longer conversations about patterns, attachment, and healing from past hurt. She helps people weigh options, practice new skills, and manage the practical demands of family, work, and health.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In practical terms this means talking about recurring relationship moves, noticing how people react to stress, and trying new ways of relating. It can help when relationship patterns, abandonment, or attachment wounds show up in daily life.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. Sessions follow the person's priorities, with the therapist asking questions, reflecting what emerges, and helping clients weigh options and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and short-term strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connie will discuss goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust techniques based on what helps. That conversation is collaborative and practical, aimed at matching approach to needs and preferences.
Session logistics and formats should be confirmed before booking because they are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow quicker check-ins during work breaks, and reduce travel time. If you need a shorter visit or a quieter setup without video, note that when you schedule so you and the therapist can plan what will work best.
