Connie Harrington

Connie Harrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and anger. Connie aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes.

Her method centers on clear communication and steady emotional work. She helps people name what they are feeling and build small skills to manage intense emotions. Sessions emphasize real-world strategies that can be used between appointments.

Connie uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape the work. She also draws on motivational interviewing and the Gottman Method when relevant to relationship concerns. These methods are used to help people clarify values, change unhelpful patterns, and improve communication.

She has particular experience with caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, and the strains that come with separation and divorce. Connie also helps clients dealing with codependency, isolation, guilt, and feelings of emptiness. The goal is to support practical coping and clearer decision making.

Connie asks clients to be active partners in therapy. She works to set achievable goals and track progress over time. People looking for help with work stress, parenting pressures, or finding purpose will find focused, experienced support.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judging relationship where the therapist listens and reflects so clients can find their own solutions; this approach supports emotional exploration and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels useful in day-to-day life.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy routines and can reduce travel time. Some formats are also better for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to decide which arrangement best matches your schedule and needs.
