About Constance
Constance Guthrie is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on common household pressures and mental health concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Sessions are presented for adults who are juggling relationships and parenting demands and looking for practical support.
Her approach centers on practical conversation and evidence-based tools. Constance uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and reshape patterns of thinking and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Constance trained in social work at Oakland University for her bachelor’s degree and completed a Master of Social Work at Michigan State University. She holds the LMSW credential and has worked across settings where parents and young adults seek help for everyday strains and more intense challenges.
In sessions she often practices mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice what matters and set realistic goals. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with concrete skills to try between meetings. She frames growth as steady work rather than quick fixes.

How sessions work
How Constance uses therapy methods online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities. The therapist listens with the aim of understanding what matters most and then helps guide the conversation toward practical changes that fit daily life. This approach is helpful for parents and adults who need straightforward support and decision-focused work.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and develop new behavior patterns, which can ease anxiety, worry, and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) supplies skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication that people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Constance will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals, preferences, and the pace that feels manageable. That collaborative process helps set clear targets and specific skills to try at home.
