About Connolly
Connolly D'souza is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience. He helps people feel more grounded, understood, and more in control of their lives. He works directly with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, and LGBT-related issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and he practices from Florida. Connolly uses a warm, practical style. He focuses on finding doable steps that fit into everyday life.
Conversations usually aim to make things clearer and to reduce immediate distress while building longer-term coping skills.
How Connolly works
He also supports people dealing with relationship patterns that cause pain, such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, and commitment worries. Caregiver strain, fatherhood concerns, and family of origin problems are common topics he helps people sort through. He has experience with addiction, dissociation, domestic violence, and stress related to first responder work.
Sessions may feel direct but respectful. The work often includes talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and trying small changes between sessions. Progress is reviewed together so the plan can shift when needed.
Connolly offers multiple formats for contact and ongoing care. He accepts international clients and can work with people who prefer English or Hindi. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to availability.

Online support options
Practical approaches you can use online
Connolly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and everyday coping. One approach emphasizes short-term, goal-oriented work that breaks problems into manageable tasks and helps people try small changes between sessions. This can be useful for stress, anxiety, and decision-making struggles. Another approach targets patterns rooted in attachment and family of origin issues by helping clients notice repeating behaviors and try new responses in relationships. That style often helps with codependency, abandonment worries, and commitment concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Connolly will work with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is or isn’t helping so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people talk face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, ongoing support between meetings, or a way to begin therapy without committing to video. These options help people access care from different locations and schedules.
