Constance Moody, LPC

Constance Moody is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, respectful, and compassionate presence to work with a wide range of people and presenting concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, eating issues, self-esteem challenges, and bipolar disorder.

Much of her career has focused on addiction treatment, addressing substance use as well as behavioral addictions such as food and work. She also has substantial experience treating mood disorders and personality disorders, and she offers support for related concerns such as postpartum depression, seasonal mood changes, self-harm, and codependency.

Her preferred framework is cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical, skills-based model that helps people identify how their beliefs shape feelings and actions and then learn new ways of thinking and responding. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, finding it particularly effective in structured group settings that teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Constance integrates these approaches so clients learn tools they can continue to use long after formal sessions end.

As an LPC, she emphasizes collaboration and respect, working with each person to tailor therapy to their goals, needs, and preferences. Her aim is to equip clients with lifelong skills that improve daily functioning and overall quality of life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Constance Moody draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, and she may incorporate EMDR where appropriate. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying how thoughts and beliefs shape feelings and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction-related problems. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; it can be especially helpful for intense emotions, self-harm behaviors, and personality-related difficulties. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of emotional responses tied to those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Constance works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time based on how the client is progressing.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family, and mobility constraints while still building skills and making steady progress.
