About Constance
Constance Akonumbo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, sleep problems, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Constance also lists coaching and compassion fatigue among her practice areas and accepts international clients. Sessions are held in English.
Constance came to counseling after careers in teaching and nursing. That background influences how she structures sessions. She emphasizes practical skills and straightforward conversations rather than clinical jargon. Clients can expect a collaborative tone that sets clear goals and steps to reach them.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and narrative methods. In practice this means talking through thoughts and behaviors, trying specific exercises, and reflecting on personal values and meaning. She also uses coaching techniques to support next steps and goal-setting.
Constance frames the counseling relationship as a partnership based on respect, honesty, and active effort from both sides. She says meaningful change follows a conscious decision to act and that therapy works best when clients commit to doing the work between sessions. Spiritual beliefs are a noted influence on her perspective.
For people troubled by patterns that trace back to family of origin issues or early relationships, Constance emphasizes understanding those patterns and building new ways of relating. She blends talking, practical tools, and guided reflection to help people move toward clearer choices and calmer daily life.
How Constance Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps that align with those values. Online sessions can introduce small exercises to clarify what matters and plan value-led actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. In a virtual setting that can mean practicing thought records, behavioral experiments, and short homework tasks between visits.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Constance works collaboratively to test methods and see what fits the client's aims and preferences. She will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust direction based on what helps most in everyday life.
