About Connie
Connie Branham is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 43 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career-related stress, and compassion fatigue.
Connie uses a mix of approaches to fit what each person brings to a session. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-focused and client-centered methods guide discussions about feelings and personal values.
Sessions tend to be practical and focused on immediate problems as well as longer-term change. She often works toward clearer communication, better emotion regulation, and routines that improve sleep and reduce anxiety. When parenting is a major strain, conversations may include coping strategies for daily life and managing stress related to caregiving.
Connie emphasizes respect for a person’s beliefs and life context. That can include exploring faith or spiritual concerns when a client raises them. She aims to be direct and steady in sessions, helping people make small, manageable changes over time.
Her long clinical history means she’s familiar with many life transitions and losses. Adults who want a calm, experienced clinician to talk through relationship issues or the pressures of parenting may find her style straightforward and practical.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Connie uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships influence current patterns. That approach focuses on emotions in relationships and can help with intimacy-related concerns and recurring conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through small experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming and working with core emotions to shift how people relate to others and to themselves.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Connie will discuss options with each person and together they will pick what fits the client’s goals and preferences. That conversation guides whether sessions lean more toward problem-solving, emotion work, or skills practice.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to arrange regular check-ins, fit therapy into a workday, and use brief video or phone meetings when a shorter contact is helpful. Licensed professionals often adapt homework, worksheets, and behavioral exercises so people can practice between sessions and see steady progress.
