About Connie
Connie Fleming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. Connie offers calm, steady support for people facing life changes and career strain.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are meant to be practical and respectful, with space to talk about feelings and figure out steps that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns shaped by family history, attachment, and earlier losses so those patterns can be changed. Connie uses tools from several approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and client-centered methods to build trust and understanding.
Emotionally-focused work helps people name and process strong feelings, and she also uses approaches appropriate for trauma and grief. Parents often turn to her for help with communication, blended family questions, fatherhood concerns, and the strain of caregiving. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, codependency, and commitment worries without implying quick fixes.
Sessions balance emotion-focused conversation with problem-solving. Connie helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and notice gradual change. She works from Alabama and provides services in English.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions aligned with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and times of life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that feed distress and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports naming and processing strong emotions so relationships and self-understanding can shift; it is helpful when feelings feel overwhelming or stuck.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Connie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend strategies from these methods. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels right for the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions let people check in when video is impractical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
