About Constance
Constance Guthrie is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with seven years of clinical experience in Michigan. She focuses on issues common in early adulthood, including stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and transitions like leaving home or starting work. Constance also addresses ADHD, grief, anger, and parenting concerns when they affect daily life.
Her style centers on listening and helping people use their own strengths to handle hard moments. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical strategies, and learning skills to manage emotions and stress. She uses straightforward tools rather than jargon so clients can try things between meetings.
Constance trained in social work, earning a master’s degree in clinical social work and a bachelor’s in social work. She draws on several approaches from that background, including client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
In practice she may introduce mindfulness exercises, DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation, and motivational interviewing to support change. These methods are used to address panic, social anxiety, impulses, and relationship communication. Sessions move at a practical pace, with room to check what’s working and change direction as needed.
People who choose her often want concrete ways to cope with life changes or to feel steadier during busy transitions. She works in English and is based in Michigan. Confirm current session options before scheduling so the format fits daily life.
How Constance uses proven approaches online
Constance often blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and helps clients name what matters to them. It helps people who feel stuck or unsure about next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also incorporates DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation when intense feelings or impulsivity are part of the problem. DBT skills teach specific ways to tolerate distress and manage strong emotions, which can help with panic, anger, or impulsive behavior. The therapist will talk with each person about which methods fit their goals and preferences so treatment feels collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around jobs, school, or caregiving. It can allow shorter check-ins on busy days, remove travel time, and let clients practice skills from their everyday environment. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and how to make sessions workable for a young adult’s routine.
