About Constance
Constance Akonumbo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. She began her career in education and nursing before moving into counseling, and she combines skills from those fields with her counseling work. Constance lists stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationships, grief, sleeping problems, anger, bipolar, and coping with life changes among the concerns she addresses.
Constance describes therapy as interactive and partnership-based. She emphasizes honesty, clear communication, and a shared commitment to making change. Her stated style draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, and she uses coaching to help people apply what they learn.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps and decision-making. She supports people who want to understand how patterns like avoidance, impulsivity, control issues, or family-of-origin problems affect day-to-day life. She also lists work with issues such as body image, attachment concerns, isolation or loneliness, guilt and shame, and forgiveness.
Constance notes a belief in what she calls Divine Healing Power as part of her outlook. She encourages clients to identify strengths they already have and to practice specific skills between sessions. She frames the therapist-client relationship as collaborative and direct, with an emphasis on clear goals and active work.
Constance offers services in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and dealing with impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and uses listening and reflection to help people clarify goals and personal strengths.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Constance will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That might mean combining ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques and adjusting pace and homework to suit individual needs.

Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit appointments into a college schedule, a workday, or a busy week. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, use of digital worksheets between meetings, and easier access for international clients who speak English. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life without changing the therapeutic goals.
