01About Connie
Connie Jenks is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Virginia who focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders, and motivation. She uses a straightforward, compassionate approach to help people manage depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction concerns, anger, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and self-esteem struggles.
She keeps sessions simple and direct. Conversations focus on what matters to each person right now. She listens without judgment and helps clients name what they are feeling.
Background and approach
Over time she works toward practical steps clients can try between sessions. Connie uses a mix of methods that match a person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Trauma-focused work is used when past harm keeps repeating in daily life. Motivational Interviewing helps those who feel stuck to find their own reasons to change. With 19 years of experience as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - she draws on real-world clinical time rather than jargon.
She pays attention to co-occurring concerns like personality disorders, self-harm, and trichotillomania when they affect treatment. She also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, and women's issues. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged by scheduling online.
Connie aims to make the first steps as clear and manageable as possible, helping people find steady ways to cope and move forward.

04Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead, helping them feel heard and understood and supporting them as they decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, mood, and behavior interact. It teaches simple skills to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes, which can help with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people who have been harmed by past events that still affect daily life. It includes strategies to process traumatic memories and to reduce the ways those memories disrupt current functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Connie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messages allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life.
