Connie Seth

Connie Seth is a licensed independent social worker with 30 years of professional experience in Iowa. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Connie aims to meet each person where they are and offers steady support through difficult changes.

She approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations and plans are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Connie emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions to make everyday life more manageable.

Her work includes tools from Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of traumatic events and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and solution-focused methods to build emotional skills and set achievable goals. Motivational Interviewing may be used to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change.

Connie helps with relationship and family-related concerns by working with individuals on communication, boundaries, and parenting stress. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, financial stress, and major life transitions. Sessions are collaborative, with the person’s goals guiding the process.

Connie works in English and practices in Iowa as an LISW, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker. If someone decides to start, she aims to create a calm, direct space to talk through pressing issues and plan steps forward.

How her approaches can work in online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on reducing the ongoing effects of traumatic experiences by gently processing memories and teaching coping strategies to manage strong emotions. It can help people who feel stuck by past events and want tools to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors that follow. It uses practical exercises and homework to change thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. These skills are useful when intense emotions or impulsive reactions interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist choose strategies together based on needs and preferences.

Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered for this therapist. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy day. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or make it simpler to use skills learned in session in the moment. Ask about session length and how appointments are arranged to find a routine that fits everyday life.
