About Lanecha

Dr. Lanecha Conner is a licensed mental health therapist with nine years of clinical experience practicing in Illinois.

Background and approach

She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and works with adults who present as capable and responsible but who internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected. Her background centers on helping people who have been carrying a lot and are ready for a space to pause and breathe.

Her style blends a semi-structured, human-centered approach with practical skills training. Sessions focus on slowing down to untangle what the client is holding, identifying patterns that maintain distress, and building concrete tools that can be applied day to day.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside narrative and solution-focused methods to address symptoms, challenge limiting beliefs, and strengthen self-trust. Dr.

Conner aims to help clients clarify values, improve relationships, and reclaim a sense of authenticity. She works collaboratively to explore life transitions, grief, trauma-related concerns, relationship struggles, addictions, career and purpose questions, and a broad range of emotional issues so clients can move toward greater balance and well-being.

Approach-focused care delivered online

Dr. Conner often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so people can manage symptoms and make practical changes in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes awareness of present-moment experience and simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help clients reframe personal stories and separate themselves from problems that have become defining. Together these approaches allow for practical skill-building while also exploring the meanings and stories that shape someone’s life. Finding the right mix is collaborative - the therapist works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit regular therapeutic work into busy schedules, maintain momentum between meetings, and choose the communication method that feels most comfortable for each stage of care.
