About Connor
Connor O'Shea is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
With five years of clinical experience, he aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can explore what matters most to them and begin making meaningful changes. Connor uses a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all model, adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person's unique situation.
He draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other approaches to address emotional patterns, improve communication, and build coping skills. Clients work together with him to set practical goals and practice strategies that fit daily life.
Located in Kansas and credentialed as an LPC, Connor emphasizes collaboration and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process. He recognizes that seeking change takes courage and offers steady support as clients take steps toward greater well-being and clearer direction.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Connor combines practical, skills-based approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to improve coping with stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and building willingness to experience difficult emotions while taking action toward a meaningful life, which can help with issues like avoidance and low motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that support better communication and crisis management.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Connor works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, integrating elements from different models so the work aligns with each person's needs.
Online sessions provide practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care around work, family, or location constraints. These formats allow clients to practice new skills between sessions and maintain continuity of support while adapting therapy to daily life.
