Do you ask yourself... Why is it that I am unhappy most all of the time? Why is it that I am so tired and do not seem to be motivated to do anything? Why do I seem to worry about everything no matter how small? Most people who seek counseling feel that they do not have control over their lives. Does This Sound Like You? I work collaboratively with people in a warm, supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere while providing them with the tools to achieve the kind of control that lets them be in charge. Counseling is a journey and it will take time and effort. I welcome the opportunity to talk to you about your concerns/issues/needs. The feedback that I have received so far from people is that when they leave my office they have a clear idea of what they need to do to improve their situation/circumstances. With energy and enthusiasm, I specialize in helping struggling relationships (infidelity, adultery, communication problems and internet issues) , depression and moods swings/anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger and stress/pain management, career development, adjustment to life changes, GBLT concerns, and grief and loss. My ultimate goal is to help people lead a more satisfying, conscious, and authentic existence. Call Today To Schedule YOUR 15 min. FREE Phone Consultation...

Relationships don't always work the way we want them to. When we reach a point of not knowing what to do, or how to make things better, getting help sooner rather than later may make all the difference. There are many reasons why couples seek counseling. Often, couples find themselves fighting over and over about the same problems. This can cause negative feelings like anger and resentment to build up. On the other hand, some partners find themselves talking less and less, while the sense of distance starts to feel permanent. This is where I can help. I counsel couples using the same supportive style as individual clients. My primary approach to counseling couples is based on The Sound Relationship House Model of relationships developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. The interventions derived from this model are based on three decades of research. We begin by developing a mutual understanding of problem areas. Next, I guide couples through treatment using models of healthy relationships and therapy methods designed to increase conflict management skills, strengthen the friendship, and create a sense of shared meaning in the relationship. My goals are to help couples learn to manage conflict in ways that actually create intimacy and understanding and to help couples build more positive feelings into the relationship. I will help you learn and practice new relationship skills, change ineffective and destructive interaction patterns, and build more friendship, intimacy, and mutual support. We will also work together to solve underlying problems in the marriage and to accept the ones that cannot be changed.

Connie Lancaster is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 10 years of experience assisting adults, adolescents, children, and families with a wide range of issues in a variety of settings. Prior to completing licensure requirements in North Carolina, she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling, with a concentration in marriage and family counseling. Over the course of a diverse career, Connie has provided crisis counseling to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, vocational assessment and counseling to individuals with mental health and/or substance abuse diagnoses, and group therapy related to self-esteem, anger management, chronic pain, and parenting skills. She has counseled adults with severe and persistent mental illness as well as children with serious emotional and behavioral issues but also promotes the benefits of counseling for life’s daily struggles and transitions. Connie considers her four years as a stay at home mother to be both her most challenging and rewarding role and relishes the opportunity to help other parents improve communication and strengthen relationships within the family. She has a personal interest in supporting those who are dealing with fertility issues and/or adoption as well as those attempting to recover from traumatic events. Connie’s therapeutic approach is integrative and evidence-based, providing support, education, guidance, and skills training to help clients effectively address their personal life challenges and enhance their overall well-being. She utilizes a strengths-based approach to counseling, commonly incorporating cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques, humanistic therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, play therapy, and family systems theory. Given the diversity within all clients served, she personalizes her counseling approach to meet the individual or family’s particular needs, situation, and preferences. No matter the approach, Connie strives to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which clients can be heard and empowered to better understand and transform their lives. She views counseling as a collaborative process in which the client’s input is just as valuable as the therapist’s and the therapeutic relationship itself can greatly affect the progress achieved during counseling. Connie strongly believes that seeking help during difficult times is a sign of great strength, not weakness, and values her role assisting others in meeting their personal goals and reaching their full potential.

Clients often pursue counseling because of specific issues or because life has become more stressful and difficult as their previously used coping skills begin to fail. Past issues, losses, traumatic events, and present day transitions factor in to create struggles and issues that need to be worked through successfully. I believe that in working together as a team to find new, more constructive coping skills, the client can move from just surviving to actually thriving in their day-to-day environments, finding contentment, peace, and joy in and from life once again. I employ play therapy in my work with children as young as three years of age, as well as the use of other psychoeducational and therapeutic activities with adolescents, adults and families to help them make the needed changes. I am also Board Certified as a Professional Christian Counselor and incorporate Grace-Based Biblical Counseling in my work with families.
