About Constance

Constance Akonumbo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years in the helping professions. She moved into counseling after careers in teaching and nursing, and says she finds this work deeply rewarding. Constance brings warmth to sessions and approaches therapy as a respectful partnership. She emphasizes honest communication and a shared commitment to change.

Constance blends practical techniques with a person-centered stance. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment elements to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas for emotion regulation and narrative therapy to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.

Many clients seek her support for anxiety, stress, panic-related concerns, and sleep problems. She also helps with depression, self-esteem, ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Constance lists family and relationship issues, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue among her practice interests.

Her sessions tend to be interactive and coaching-oriented. She encourages clients to set clear goals and to practice skills between meetings. Constance frames the work as a step-by-step process that depends on the person’s commitment and effort.

Constance provides services from Oklahoma and offers sessions in English. She welcomes clients who want a collaborative counselor who combines practical tools with a supportive, faith-informed outlook.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values, even when anxiety or panic comes up. It emphasizes small steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with panic, sleep issues, and worry. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, with the therapist offering empathy and support while clients lead the pace and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Constance will work together with each person to see which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made or new issues emerge.

The original profile did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online work also makes it easier to keep continuity during life changes and to apply skills in everyday settings between sessions.
