Her experience includes supporting people after trauma and abuse and helping those who want more motivation or higher self-esteem. Conner draws on approaches that connect feelings and behaviors so clients can try new ways of relating to themselves and others. In the room she aims to make space for honest talk without judgment.
She encourages steady steps toward realistic goals and emphasizes learning tools that can be used between sessions. Progress is measured by clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and stronger habits. Parents reading on a phone should know Conner is practical and straightforward.
She will listen to your concerns and work with you to set simple goals. The focus is on building skills to cope with anxiety, manage stress, and improve relationship patterns over time.
Approaches that fit online therapy and everyday life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions. It helps people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and learn new patterns that feel safer over time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety and stress because it teaches concrete strategies to change worry cycles and routine avoidance. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills and moment-to-moment noticing to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick methods to try, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without traveling. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching the format to the task at hand.
