About Constance

Constance (Connie) Glass is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with two decades of clinical practice supporting people through addiction, trauma, mood difficulties, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad background that includes work with foster care populations, substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns, domestic violence survivors, and LGBTQ+ individuals, including transgender people considering transition. Her approach centers on meeting clients where they are and honoring each person’s dignity and experience.

Connie blends practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and mindfulness-influenced techniques to help clients build coping skills and clarify goals. She aims to create a compassionate, affirming environment where exploring strengths and challenges leads to meaningful change.

Prospective clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a focus on tools that support everyday functioning, from sleep and stress management to relationship and parenting concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Constance blends cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques to address practical problems and emotional patterns. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and addiction-related challenges. Client-centered therapy prioritizes empathy and acceptance, providing space for clients to explore their values and strengths while setting personal goals. Mindfulness-influenced practices introduce simple awareness exercises that can reduce reactivity and support stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Connie works with each person to tailor methods to their goals and preferences, adapting tools over time as needs change. She emphasizes partnership in therapy, helping clients evaluate what feels effective and adjusting course when necessary.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use different formats for skill practice or check-ins between longer sessions.
