    About Connie

    Connie Harrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping clients find clearer steps forward.

    Connie often supports people facing life transitions. That includes workplace stress, midlife changes, caregiving strain, and issues that come with aging. She also addresses family problems, blended family dynamics, and parenting concerns with straightforward guidance.

    Her sessions mix practical problem solving with attention to feelings. She uses Motivational Interviewing alongside acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioral tools to help clients identify values and change small patterns. She also draws on client-centered listening and relationship-focused work informed by the Gottman Method.

    Connie pays particular attention to issues such as codependency, communication problems, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She helps people work through jealousy, infidelity, divorce and separation, and the practical effects of caregiver stress. Career concerns and finding a sense of purpose are also part of her work.

    People who sit with her can expect direct conversation about what’s getting in the way and step-by-step plans to try. She aims to help clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and regain a sense of direction. Sessions are conducted in English in Pennsylvania and shaped to each person’s goals.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Connie uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, focusing on small, achievable steps and on building motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and teach practical ways to notice difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and situation, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process is conversational and goal-oriented rather than prescriptive.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to attend from different locations. Licensed professionals can apply the same exercises, values work, and behavior strategies over video or phone, and Connie will help adapt tools so they work in your daily life.
