About Connie
Connie Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on family concerns, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with life changes, anger, ADHD, and relationship strain.
Connie draws on practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused approaches. She often combines skills-based work with client-centered conversation. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping strategies, and small changes that fit everyday life.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling from William Carey University and extensive outpatient clinical practice. That history includes focused work with trauma, depression, attention difficulties, grief, and anger management. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set and track achievable goals.
In session Connie listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. She introduces tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. When trauma is involved she may integrate trauma-focused methods to help reduce distress and improve functioning.
People who come for help can expect straightforward conversation, practical skill-building, and respectful feedback. She pays attention to family and parenting stress and to issues that arise from blended families, adoption and foster care, caregiver strain, and divorce or separation. Progress is worked on one step at a time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used when someone wants to reduce avoidance and live more in line with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and anger by practicing new ways of responding to difficult situations.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and agree on which methods to use. That collaborative process can include trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting based on how well it fits.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. They also let people use audio-only when video would be difficult or limit bandwidth when internet connections are slow. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and which format matches your schedule and daily routine.
