About Constance
Constance Akonumbo is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience. She works with adults on life changes and everyday struggles including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and questions about purpose and direction. Constance also helps people facing grief, addiction, attention challenges, relationship and family concerns, and issues with sleep, anger, or self-esteem.
Her background includes time in education and nursing before moving into counseling, which shapes a practical, skills-based way of working. Sessions focus on clear communication and active collaboration. Constance describes the therapeutic relationship as a partnership that needs honesty, respect, and commitment from both people.
In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior techniques, existential and narrative approaches, and client-centered principles. That mix supports concrete skill building - like changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and clarifying values - alongside exploration of meaning and personal choices.
Constance frames counseling in straightforward terms: identifying what to change, deciding to act, and learning the skills to follow through. She also uses coaching-style support to set goals and track progress. Conversations are practical, with steps to try between meetings.
People who feel stuck after work, relationship, health, or parenting changes may find this approach helpful when they want focused, collaborative work. Early sessions typically look at immediate concerns, practical goals, and which tools to bring into daily life.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and choosing actions that align with them. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thoughts and deciding on small, meaningful steps that fit what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and tests new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often includes concrete exercises and homework to practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, prefered ways of working, and the issues at hand to decide together which methods to emphasize. That collaboration helps shape each session so it fits the person's needs and pace.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a weekday, shorten travel time, or choose a meeting style that suits energy and focus. Some people like brief check-ins when schedules are tight, while others use longer sessions to go deeper into problems and practice skills. Ask about format options when you schedule the first appointment to match therapy to everyday life.
