About Connie

Connie Harrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 22 years of clinical experience. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and client-centered principles to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes practical skills for coping with life changes alongside exploration of emotions and values to support long-term resilience. Connie brings experience supporting clients through workplace stress, midlife transitions, caregiving pressures, and the emotional impacts of aging.

She also addresses family dynamics, blended family concerns, communication problems, and issues such as codependency, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness. Her style centers on collaborative goal-setting, open communication, and building concrete strategies that align with each person’s priorities.

In sessions she uses a combination of structured interventions and empathic listening to help clients clarify goals, reduce distress, and strengthen coping skills. Clients can expect a respectful, steady approach that balances symptom-focused tools with attention to personal meaning and relationships.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Connie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and to build practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps shape a tailored plan that may combine elements from different therapies to address both immediate concerns and longer-term growth.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other commitments, and allow therapists and clients to continue work on skills and communication between appointments.
