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 brings those experiences into her work. She says she values the chance to support people through hard moments and everyday challenges.
Constance uses a warm and interactive style. She treats therapy as a partnership that depends on trust, honesty, and effort from both people. Her sessions tend to focus on practical steps and coaching to help clients reach life goals.
Her work addresses a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting strain, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, anger, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to issues such as attachment struggles, communication problems, family of origin issues, and isolation or loneliness. Constance describes helping people name strengths and make concrete changes.
Clinically, Constance draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and client-centered approaches. She blends these ideas into conversations that explore values, build skills, and reframe unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness and narrative elements also appear in her work.
Constance speaks English and practices in Oklahoma. She emphasizes the need for clients to choose to do the work and offers coaching and guidance alongside counseling. She notes a belief in divine healing as part of her personal outlook.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small meaningful steps in that direction while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption. Client-centered therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports clients as they find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit the person's goals, concerns, and preferences. That collaboration can include mixing elements from different approaches so sessions feel practical and relevant.
If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not detailed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep momentum and build the skills discussed in sessions.
