About Connie

Connie Harrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, and parenting challenges. Connie also focuses on caregiving strain, blended family issues, aging concerns, and codependency-related patterns.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels off and find practical steps forward. Sessions often include looking at unhelpful thinking, noticing values, and trying small changes that build confidence. Connie blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening in ways that fit each person’s goals.

Connie has spent decades helping people through life transitions like career shifts, divorce or separation, and the emotional shifts of aging. She also supports those working through family problems, infidelity, jealousy, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. Her work includes coaching around communication problems and dependent personality patterns.

People come to her when they want clearer boundaries, fewer reactive moments, and better coping skills for intense feelings. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools when decisions or behavior change are the focus. The Gottman Method techniques are used specifically around relationship communication and conflict patterns.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow Pennsylvania practice standards. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first meeting through the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Connie commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts while encouraging committed action toward what matters. CBT targets patterns of thinking and behavior with concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client will consider goals, preferences, and how hands-on or directive the work should be, then adjust the approach as needed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Ask about available session types when you complete the short matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so sessions can occur from wherever you are during the day.
