About Connie
Connie Zmijewski is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who helps people facing relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress. She works with issues around intimacy, sleep, anger, self-esteem, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Connie emphasizes practical steps and steady support during hard moments.
Connie sees people as the authors of their own stories. She listens for the events and messages that shape how someone understands themselves.
Background and approach
Then she helps identify small changes that can shift those stories and daily habits. Sessions tend to be straightforward and respectful, with room for reflection and decision-making. Her approach draws on narrative ideas plus acceptance and commitment techniques, client-centered care, cognitive-behavioral tools, and existential reflection.
That mix helps with both sudden crises and longer-term life questions. Clients get a balance of talking, problem solving, and practical exercises to try between sessions. Connie brings 20 years of counseling experience to the work and uses her training to keep conversations focused and useful.
She encourages people to notice patterns, try new choices, and build on strengths they already have. The tone is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Sessions are available in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
International clients may also be seen. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Connie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Her practice draws particularly on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with strong client-centered care. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity so new possibilities can emerge. This approach often helps with relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and life roles. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and teaching small committed actions that move a person toward the life they value; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and chronic stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest ideas to try. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted so it matches what feels most helpful and realistic for your situation.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates or work through brief coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
