About Connie
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 19 years of experience, Connie Jenks helps people address trauma and abuse, grief and loss, mood disorders, and motivation concerns. She focuses on practical steps clients can take to manage depression, bipolar challenges, addictions, anger, and life's transitions. Sessions are held in English and she accepts international clients.
Connie uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, giving clients space to name what matters most. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and on Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change. Trauma-Focused and Solution-Focused approaches are part of her toolkit when the situation calls for them.
In sessions she encourages clear communication and direct problem solving. That might mean setting short goals, trying behavior experiments between meetings, or mapping patterns that keep problems going. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and communication problems in straightforward terms.
Her practice includes work on co-morbidity, personality and mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, trichotillomania, and seasonal affective disorder. She also supports people managing compassion fatigue and the strain of career or life changes.
Connie describes starting therapy as a brave step. She helps people take concrete first steps: pick a starting concern, outline small goals, and set a plan for follow-up. Practical adjustments and regular check-ins guide the work forward.

How her approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says to clarify priorities and feelings. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through trauma, grief, or relationship and communication concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings and uses small experiments or homework to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and some behavior challenges. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. Connie will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match goals and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as progress is made. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people join from different time zones, which can help international clients. The focus remains practical: set clear goals, try small actions between sessions, and review what helps in follow-up meetings.Sheet 3
