Connie Jones

MA, LPC, CPCS

Founder & CEO | Licensed Professional Counselor | Clinical Supervisor | Transformational Coach | Leadership & Business Advisor

Connie Jones is the Founder and CEO of Arise Counseling & Coaching, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS), transformational coach, and leadership and business advisor who has spent more than 20 years helping people heal, break free, and become who they were created to be.

At the heart of Connie’s work is a deep belief: you were never meant to spend your life struggling, striving, or merely surviving.

You were made to feel deeply connected to yourself, to God, and to the people you love. To feel free, confident, empowered, fulfilled, and fully alive. To pursue meaningful dreams, create impact, experience success, and enjoy your life without losing yourself in the process.

Connie works especially with high-achieving, high-capacity men and women, leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and business owners who have spent much of their lives being strong, capable, responsible, driven, and successful.

They are often the people everyone else depends on. They know how to achieve, lead, solve problems, carry responsibility, push through hard things, and make things happen.

And many have created lives that look incredibly successful from the outside.

Yet somewhere along the way, having it all and doing it all begins to feel exhausting, burdensome, or unfulfilling.

Something is missing.

They are tired of striving, carrying everything, over-functioning, performing, proving, and quietly abandoning themselves to keep everything else working. They may feel disconnected from themselves or recognize that the very patterns that helped them become successful are now limiting the life, relationships, leadership, and impact they are capable of creating.

They don’t need to do more.

They are ready to become more fully who they really are.

Working With Connie

Connie’s work helps people move beyond the survival self—the version of themselves they learned to become to feel safe, loved, accepted, needed, worthy, in control, or successful—and reconnect with their authentic self underneath it all.

Many of the qualities we eventually struggle with began as intelligent ways of surviving.

Being strong can become never allowing yourself to need anyone.

Responsibility can become over-functioning.

Excellence can become perfectionism.

Caring can become people-pleasing.

Independence can become isolation.

Achievement can become proving.

Leadership can become carrying everyone and everything.

And success can become a life that looks good but no longer feels like your own.

Connie helps clients compassionately uncover these patterns, understand where they came from, heal the deeper wounds and beliefs beneath them, regulate the nervous system, and create enough internal safety to begin living differently.

Her unique approach integrates the depth of clinical therapy with transformational coaching, identity work, nervous system regulation, mindset transformation, intuitive insight, leadership development, and practical strategy.

The goal is transformation from the inside out.

Together, Connie and her clients explore the beliefs, emotional wounds, survival strategies, relational patterns, nervous system responses, and identities that have shaped how they live, love, lead, work, achieve, and receive.

Then they begin building something different:

More freedom. More alignment. More confidence. More connection. More capacity. More joy. More ease.

And a life that actually feels like theirs.

From Survival to Your Most Authentic, Magnetic Self

Connie is passionate about helping people expand beyond the limits of who they learned to be and step into their most authentic, magnetic, empowered self.

It is about coming home to yourself.

It is learning to trust yourself, honor your needs and desires, stop self-abandoning, strengthen your boundaries, deepen your relationships, expand your capacity to receive and hold more, and make decisions from alignment rather than fear.

For high-capacity people, this work often becomes the bridge between one level of life and the next.

They may already be accomplished—but they know there is more inside of them. More life they want to experience. More impact they want to make. Dreams they are ready to build. Businesses or careers they want to take to the next level. Relationships they want to deepen.

Connie helps them expand their internal capacity to hold the life they are creating so growth no longer has to come through constant pressure, hustle, sacrifice, or self-abandonment.

They learn to build success from wholeness rather than survival, alignment rather than proving, and authentic power rather than pressure.

The result is becoming someone who can experience and enjoy what they have worked so hard to create.

Leadership, Business & Next-Level Growth

In addition to her therapeutic work, Connie coaches and advises leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and business owners who want to elevate both who they are and what they are building.

Her approach recognizes that the next level of a business or career often requires a next level of the person leading it.

She blends transformational identity work with leadership development, nervous system regulation, mindset, business strategy, systems thinking, team development, and practical execution.

Connie helps leaders uncover the invisible patterns affecting their decisions, leadership, relationships, growth, and capacity; strengthen their confidence and self-leadership; build healthier teams and cultures; create scalable systems; and pursue meaningful growth without sacrificing themselves to achieve it.

Her work is for leaders who don’t simply want more success.

They want success that feels like success – and FREEDOM!

They want to build something meaningful, create greater impact, enjoy their lives, deepen their relationships, and lead from a place that is grounded, powerful, healthy, and aligned with who they are.

Relationships, Couples & Families

Connie also has extensive experience helping couples and families heal old wounds, strengthen communication, rebuild trust, navigate difficult seasons, and create deeper, healthier connection.

She believes relationships can become powerful places of healing when people understand their own patterns, communicate from greater emotional safety, and learn to truly see and understand one another.

Developing Therapists, Coaches & Leaders

As a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS), Connie is passionate about developing the next generation of transformational clinicians.

She provides supervision, mentorship, and leadership development to therapists, helping them grow in clinical skill, confidence, discernment, intuition, leadership, and their ability to get beneath the surface and facilitate meaningful, lasting change.

As an entrepreneur and business advisor, Connie also mentors coaches, consultants, business owners, and emerging leaders who want to build purpose-driven businesses and create meaningful impact.

She helps them develop the internal foundation, leadership capacity, mindset, strategy, systems, and business acumen needed to expand their influence while remaining healthy, authentic, and aligned with what matters most.

The Heart Behind Arise

Connie founded Arise Counseling & Coaching with a vision for something deeper than simply helping people manage symptoms.

She envisioned a community of exceptional clinicians committed to clinical excellence, genuine compassion, authenticity, and healing at the root—helping people understand not only what they are struggling with, but why, so they can experience lasting change.

Clients often describe Connie as having an uncommon ability to see beneath the surface and recognize the deeper patterns keeping them stuck.

She brings warmth, intuition, wisdom, clinical depth, encouragement, and practical strategy together in a way that helps people feel deeply seen while also challenging them to step into what is possible.

Whether she is serving as a therapist, transformational coach, clinical supervisor, speaker, leadership advisor, or business strategist, the heart of Connie’s work remains the same:

To help people heal what has kept them in survival, break free from who they learned they had to be, and reconnect with who they really are—so they can become their most authentic, confident, magnetic selves and create lives, relationships, careers, businesses, and impact that reflect who they were created to be.

Because the goal isn’t simply to survive your life.

It isn’t even simply to become more successful.

It is to become fully yourself—and to have the freedom, capacity, confidence, alignment, and joy to actually live the life you were made for.
