About Connor
Connor O'Shea is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship pain. He writes short, clear goals with clients and focuses on practical steps they can try between sessions. Connor aims to make the first contact simple and direct for someone feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start.
He keeps conversations respectful and straightforward. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Connor listens for patterns from a person's past and present, then helps identify small changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Connor draws on methods that target thoughts, emotions, and behavior. He helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new skills, and learn ways to face difficult feelings without becoming stuck.
When trauma or relationship wounds are central, he works to create a steady, clear path through painful memories and interactions. Over five years of practice, Connor has supported people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment fears, body image struggles, and family of origin issues. He also helps with impulsivity, isolation, commitment concerns, and problems around control or communication.
Connor holds LPC credentials and practices with attention to each client’s goals. He offers sessions over video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. To start, a person completes a short questionnaire and schedules a session that fits their timing.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and build daily routines that reduce depression and worry.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration may mean blending techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice, phone sessions are a good low-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing skill reminders. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins during a workday, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
