Phew! You made it! That first step of asking for help can be a tough one! I congratulate you on your courage. Many people never take that step and suffer needlessly.
What's causing you pain right now? Panic attacks? Depression? Fear? I understand. When stress gets too high, it has to show up somewhere and often these are the ways it shows up. If you've been struggling to just get through your day, you know the pain of NOT doing something about it. It's likely affecting your confidence, your relationships, your work or school. It doesn't have to be that way! It's possible to live a life without constant fear and fatigue. I specialize in working with women with anxiety, depression and low self esteem.
Anxiety can be a general sense of uneasiness all the way to having obsessions and compulsions to full blown panic attacks. The fear that overwhelms you with anxiety feels very dangerous, but it's not. It's really your mind and body trying to cope with life from a very primitive level--fight or flight. But it makes you exhausted, unable to concentrate, isolated, and can even land you in the emergency room with what feels very much like a heart attack. How would your life be different if anxiety was no longer scaring you?
Depression can be mild (everyday feeling low, having little motivation) to moderate (skipping work because you just can't get going in the morning, canceling events because nothing sounds like fun anymore) to severe (thoughts of ending your own life because life has lost all joy and you can't get out of bed, nor do you want to). If your depression is severe, you need counseling in a safe setting, maybe a hospital, or several times a week in a counselor's office. But if you fit mild to moderate, this may be a good place for you to get help. I have been helping women cope with depression for more than 30 years and I would be honored to help you. Please don't give up! You can have a great life! I challenge you to imagine a life free from depression...
Maybe you're just trying to sort out some big life situations, like making decisions about your relationships or coping with the empty nest issue. Maybe your grown kids are causing you some pain. I have three grown kids with kids of their own. I get it. I can help.
If you've grown up in a home that hasn't taught you how incredible you are, or you've been through some challenging relationships in which you've been emotionally beaten down, you may be suffering with low self-esteem. This is a very real issue, and not at all uncommon in women. I watch women every day in my practice gain strength and courage and confidence. They begin challenging those lies they've been fed and start spending time with people who support them and lift them up. It's an amazing transformation! This could be YOU!
Oh, and for reassurance, I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a private practice in Orlando, Florida. I graduated from University of Central Florida with both my undergraduate psychology degree and my master's degree in Counselor Education. I started practicing counseling in the early 1980s and have loved it ever since then :-) My reward is your healing!
As a strong Christian, I have many online clients whom I get to help seek God's wisdom as the main basis for their healing. I'm a leader in my church; I am a volunteer and facilitate a small group. If you're wanting your counseling to line up with God's word, I can help!
Don't suffer any longer. Give this a try. I look forward to hearing from you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Connie is so wise, kind, patient and caring. I am so thankful for all the help she has provided! Thank you Connie for being so wonderful I would recommend her to anybody! :)
Working with Connie has been life-changing! With her help, I have made so much progress in a short amount of time.
Connie is very understanding and supportive. She doesn’t pressure me, yet she somehow manages to get me to take those next steps I need to take. I feel less afraid to deal with my anxieties with Connie helping me along.
Connie is very kind and supportive. Her attentiveness makes me feel respected as a person and she makes me feel like my feelings are valid. She’s great!
Connie is so wonderful! She has so much knowledge and I really feel like she cares and understands what I am talking about. She is awesome at making you really think, and I really like the worksheets she gives. I highly recommend her.
She's always willing to listen and she responds in a way that shows she's hearing what I'm saying.
Connie is a truly fantastic counselor. Her advice is bible-based and she is extremely wise. She has a way of making you feel extremely cared for and loved. I highly recommend her!
Connie is so good! I’ve been through some tough times and she has been there for me, in a patient, caring and nonjudgemental way. She has been very responsive when things have been at their worst whilst I’ve been on here. She is personable, insightful and is good at what she does. She doesn’t push you into doing things you don’t want to do but does challenge you. I’m glad I’ve found someone I can trust...I don’t keep things in so much. Thanks Connie :-)
Connie is a great asset for when you’re going through personal struggle.
I have been speaking with Connie for a couple months. As a young man, I've largely kept my feelings, insecurities and fears to myself. I've felt comfortable opening up to her, and feel totally supported and respected by her. Connie has encouraged me to be more accepting of myself. I appreciate the element of faith in our conversations as well. I would - and already have - recommended this counselling service to others in my life.
Connie always checks on me and I appreciate that because I tend to withdraw from people.
Connie asks questions to clarify the situation.
Connie was very helpful, she provide right resources that met my needs
Having been a pastoral counselor myself for many years it is always difficult to reach out and ask for the help of a counselor when I am in crisis. However, I know that good counselors always have great counselors that counsel them! Connie is a great counselor, just what I needed to help me through a real crisis. She is very attentive, very available, easy to talk to, and not overly pushy with advice. Clearly, Connie's thinking and counseling are very Christ centered and prayer was always a part of our counseling process. I would highly recommend selecting Connie for your Christian counselor, she is excellent and helped me through what has been the most difficult time in my life.
Connie has been compassionate and very knowledgeable. She has made recommendations for books that have really helped me understand why my next steps. She is a great blessing to me and I am thankful for her.
She is great and has practical ways to help me.
I've been working with Connie for less than a month but it is enough to see that she is very professional, passionate and reliable in regards to the sessions. I am more than satisfied with what we have achieved so far.
Connie is amazing, very thoughtful, gentle, and understanding. She is a wise Christian and counselor.
Connie is absolutely Amazing! She listens, understands and guides. She has also given references for several books that have been immensely helpful to me. She is a true partner in mental health and wellness. Highly recommend!!
Connie has been a positive impact on my life since I was connected with her on Betterhelp. She is incredibly easy to talk to and offers thoughtful opinions or further thought provoking ideas that help me on a daily basis. I have told my friends not only about Betterhelp, but specifically Connie herself.
I feel well supported,, listened to, not judged, and I feel better!!!
I’ve been working with Connie for 6 months and I can’t even begin to express how much of a difference she has made in my life! She is a true professional, the best listener and employs empathy when setting you with the tools you need whatever your therapy goal is! She will help you build confidence in yourself and find the strength you need to overcome present challenges in your life, and also be the best guide towards healing past traumas. I feel extremely lucky to have met her and I feel safe knowing she will continue to be my therapist in the future.
Very happy with Connie
Connie has been truly wonderful. She has a caring heart and was always easy to talk to. She gave me some great resources and was willing to walk my journey with me. Thankful for her insight and wisdom.
So helpful and understanding. Non judgemental and helps me feel relaxed and valued xx
Connie is an exceptional partner in the process of growth and healing from trauma.
I love my therapist <3
Connie has been so wonderful during my time of crisis. She understands and validates my feelings. I always feel better after speaking with her!!
When I first signed up with Betterhelp I accepted the counsellor I was paired with but it wasn’t the right fit. So I chose Connie, and I feel so lucky to have her support me. Connie is truly a master of counselling. She listens and provides the guidance I need. I highly recommend her!
Connie has helped me grow so much and heal, I can’t wait to keep working with her and I am so lucky to have built this support system
I love her, she is very attentive and always is there for support which is what you want out of counseling’
Thank God for my counselor!
Very knowledgeable and invested in her clients
Connie is a wonderful counselor who always listens and validates my feelings. She offers great solutions to things I struggle with!
Super attentive. Has helped me tremendously.
Connie has been great from day one. She's open and understanding. Very genuine in her professional advice and I love that she's a believer and when I need a Christian perspective, I have that as well. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Christian counselor who is honest and supportive but also blunt and direct. She's been a pleasure to work with.
Connie is wonderful! She has changed my life in so many positive ways. I feel comfortable and understood when I’m talking to her.
Connie is wonderful. I feel comfortable opening up to her, and she is very insightful. Our sessions have really helped!
Simply wonderful counsellor. Her skills and talents matches that of a talented counsellor.
Connie has been extremely helpful in the few sessions I have had with her. She responds quickly to messages and is very kind and caring.
Connie has been a fantastic source in my life . I could not ask for a better, more competent counselor. In trying times she has been my rock. I joke with her that she always makes me think my hard choices were all my idea! Thank you Connie and BetterHelp!
Great
Connie has been so kind and reassuring to me during what has been a terribly difficult few months. I can't imagine going through what I did without her support and kindness - she helped me reconcile some horrible feelings and actions and encouraged me to give myself grace.
Although Connie and I have only met once (kind of early for survey questionnaires BetterHelp), I do feel confident that we are going to be able to get to the root of many things. She is very responsive and attentive, genuine in her care.
She is great. She listens and helps me in every way. God bless her :)
Connie is kind, helpful, and so supportive. She always knows the right thing to say at the right time. I went through a few therapists before her and she’s been the best by far. She feels like a friend and is someone who can manage great progress in working on issues.
Talking to Connie for the past couple of weeks has been very relieving. Talking to her is very comfortable because I usually get very shy opening up about my problems, but Connie made it much easier to open up. Thank you for helping me, Connie.
Connie has been the only confidante I have felt I have had in a long time. Even around the most uncomfortable of topics she has made me feel safe an understood. I am very grateful for that.
I find Connie to be very personable, yet so professional. She is kind, understanding, fun, and very easy to talk to right from the beginning. She is helping me articulate my issues and giving me helpful techniques for understanding them and dealing with them. I would highly recommend her!
Connie has been there and available to listen to me when I needed it the most and to offer her expertise and professionalism. Happy with our work so far. Glad I reached out.
Connie is your "common sense counselor". She goes straight to the core of the issue. She approaches the issue with professionalism and utmost empathy. By asking the appropriate questions, she helped see my situation in a real and positive light which in turned helped make the right choices. Thanks Connie!
Words can’t describe what she has done for me. I have been in a very dark place, the darkest a person can go. But with her help I know my problems are fixable. I just thank god I’ve had the courage to do this. And for people like her to help us.
Connie is incredibly professional, discerning, wise and loving in every way. I don’t know how I would’ve made it through this chapter of my life without her great counsel and wisdom
I have grown a lot since I started therapy with Connie. Things took a very positive turn for me through the newly discovered self-awareness.
Connie is fun, makes the experience so much better. I like it when others are dedicated to helping others and this I believe is Connie.
Cool calm and collected. She listens very well.
Connie is amazing and relates well to me. When going through hardships, it’s hard to find a counselor who genuinely cares and helps. Not only does she listen but offers activities to help get you through the situation. I can’t imagine having gone through this alone without Connie! I feel stronger everyday as a result.
I greatly appreciate Connie’s commitment to her patients. I found her to be extremely responsive, very warm to interact with, and she certainly provided excellent insight on the topics we discussed. Would highly recommend to anyone.
It's early days but I already feel safe with Connie. She is encouraging, a great listener and very responsive. She offers me compassionate therapy with practical suggestions and exercises to help me progress. She listens and responds to my struggles, past or present, and has given me an optimistic outlook for the future. I'd honestly recommend her to anyone.
Connie is a very wise and supportive counselor. She has been such a great help to me during a time of transition in my life. She is very intuitive and her knowledge base and expertise have exceeded my expectations. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have her support during this time of my life.
Connie has been working with me for several months now. She’s been by my side through old and current painful situations, always helping me with her compassionate ear and loving advice. She’s been my saving grace! Connie is an excellent councillor to work with when you need yourself heard. I strongly recommend her!
Connie is wonderful! I'm glad BetterHelp matched me to her. I trust her approach and support and ways of counseling me.
Connie provides an awesome service! Always enjoy meeting with her and feel like she has really helped me get my life back on track! Thank you Connie!!
Connie Branham's soft focused and structured emotional support meant the world to me during a very difficult time. Thank you, Connie. God bless you and your family.
Connie is very knowledgeable with many years of working with clients who need couples' counseling. She provided me with materials, resources, and information that not only benefited me during my sessions but also for my future well being. Connie is great!
I'm so grateful for all the support and guidance that Connie has given me. Connie immediately made me feel at ease and listened. She made sense of the feelings I was experiencing and offered practical and manageable coping mechanisms. I can not recommend her highly enough! Connie is excellent at her job- she is a natural caring person. I hope to work with her again in the future. Thanks for being that guiding light Connie : )
Connie is very empathetic and understanding. She has years of experience and can draw insight into my problems immediately.
In the few weeks I've worked with her so far, I've found Connie to be very compassionate, caring, AND knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!
I really enjoy working with Connie Branham, she listens, is sympathetic, asks the right questions and gets me thinking enough to encourage personal growth. This has been the best counseling experience I have had. I sometimes feel like she is my best friend. She makes suggestions based on need and helps get me out of the tough places in my head with such care and concern.
Connie is easy to get hold of. She is kind and patient. And she has taught me some important things,
Connie is amazing and insightful. I am so very happy with her as my counselor!
Connie is a great listener and actually gives advice and wonderful exercises to do...l would recommend her to anyone!
Connie did a great job and really helped me though a difficult time. Will recommend to others.
Excellent listener and her advice really helps.. I could not have gotten over my hurdle without her..
Connie is great. She has slowly become part of my life. She picked up on my personality immediately and was able to cater her approach around me and my style, not her own. She is the sound part of my life, when I just need it to be about me. Thanks Connie!
She has been excellent. I am dealing with some anxiety due to health concerns and she has helped me manage the anxiety. I haven't fully overcome it but I know in due time I will with the help of The Lord and Connie!
Connie is very caring. She is a great listener and is very supportive. She helped me a lot and I am very happy I got paired with Connie. 😊
Great listener and thorough.
Connie is wonderful. She is very insightful and leads me through this process. She gives me a lot to think about and keeps me very positive.
I have been really grateful for Connie over these last few months. She's a compassionate listener and has really helped me make practical changes to manage the things in my life that I have found overwhelming. I know that as a counselor, she can't actually solve my problems for me, but she's really helping me see the things that I can do that will address the issues I'm facing in my life.
I have been communicating with Connie Branham for a couple of weeks and I am totally pleased. I feel she is a caring, warm and understanding person and is very comfortable to speak with. I thoroughly enjoy the times I speak with her and feel she is very helpful.
Connie has beed able to help me with my depression after a few weeks of counseling. She gave me simple and effective tools that I will keep using to stay happy. Also,I really enjoyed that she was checking on me almost every day. I really wish I used BetterHelp much earlier. In our busy world it can be very hard and also intimidating to go see a therapist at the office. Online format makes it so much easier and much more affordable. What a great resource! I'm really thankful for my experience and I know that whenever I feel that I'm getting off track I can get help very fast!
