About Connie
Connie Zmijewski is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC licensed in North Carolina with 20 years of counseling experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns along with grief, parenting, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues many young adults face such as career stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Connie likes to work in ways that recognize a person's strengths and life story. She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what matters most and decide on small steps they can try. Sessions are practical and goal-focused rather than full of jargon or tests.
Her background includes long clinical experience and direct client work. That history informs how she helps people who feel stuck after big life changes, loss, or shifts in relationships. She often helps with sleep problems, anger, intimacy-related concerns, and the overlapping effects of chronic stress or health issues.
Connie draws on several therapeutic methods to match the client's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's views and choices. She also brings perspectives from existential and Jungian approaches when reflecting on meaning, identity, and life transitions.
People who come to Connie can expect direct feedback, clear suggestions to try between sessions, and support working toward manageable changes. To begin, the next step is to review online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small, values-based actions even when thoughts or feelings feel difficult. It can be useful for stress, motivation, and career or relationship choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep disruption. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and choices, with the therapist offering reflective listening and practical support.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Connie will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit current goals and preferences, and she may combine techniques over time to find what helps best.
