About Camilla
Dr. Camilla Connor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and anxiety and help people regain control of daily life.
She works with adults facing depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction, grief, and other concerns that disrupt functioning. Her background includes work in residential settings, independent practice, and university environments. That variety shaped a flexible approach that draws on several therapeutic methods, chosen to fit each person's needs.
Background and approach
She combines practical exercises with in-depth conversation to address habits, beliefs, and emotions that get in the way. In sessions she aims to uncover patterns that cause distress and to teach tools for managing symptoms. Clients can expect help with sleep, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and motivation, along with support for major life changes and career stresses.
She also works on relationship and intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and parenting stress. Dr. Connor uses evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work when those methods fit a person's goals.
She often integrates elements from Emotionally-Focused and Existential perspectives to address meaning and emotion-focused connection. Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps people set concrete goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress.
People who prefer clear steps and thoughtful conversation tend to find this approach helpful.
Therapeutic methods and online care
Dr. Connor often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and connection. That approach can help with intimacy issues, attachment wounds, and communication problems by identifying interaction patterns and practicing new responses.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that match those aims. Sessions can be adjusted over time based on what works best for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for longer, in-depth sessions and visual cues. Phone calls can be useful when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter exchange fits a busy schedule.
