About Constance
Constance Guthrie is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Constance also notes additional focus areas including adoption and foster care, blended family issues, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and related concerns. She conducts sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions start by listening to the client's story and identifying immediate goals. She draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and routine habits. She also uses mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional regulation and reduce overwhelm.
Constance trained in social work at Oakland University and completed a Master of Social Work at Michigan State University. As an LMSW she brings seven years of experience working with adolescents and adults, and with parenting and life-stage concerns. Her background includes work around ADHD, grief, and adjustment to new caregiving roles.
In meetings she focuses on clear, usable strategies. That can mean skill practice between sessions, short behavioral experiments, or pacing strong emotions so problems feel more manageable. She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify values and strengthen commitment to change.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Constance uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person's own experience and goals. This approach means conversations focus on what the client finds most important, and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help decisions become clearer.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test different techniques and pick what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can shift over time as priorities change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific online options. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or evening routine, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a quick follow-up is helpful. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can make sessions easier to schedule around work or caregiving. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and format choices when setting up the first meeting.
