About Connor
Connor O'Shea is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who aims to help people feeling stuck by offering respectful, direct support. He focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma or abuse. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s needs.
He uses practical tools from several proven approaches to handle difficult feelings and moments. Sessions often focus on small, doable steps - skills for managing strong emotions, practicing healthier communication, and noticing patterns that keep problems going.
How Connor works
Work may include learning grounding skills, trying new ways of thinking, or gently revisiting painful memories when a person is ready. Connor tailors the way he talks and plans work to each person's situation. He keeps explanations plain and checks in about what’s helpful.
Clients hear clear options and decide what feels most useful. He brings five years of experience in counseling and holds an LPC credential. He is licensed in Colorado and Missouri and practices from Kansas.
This background informs how he balances practical skill-building with deeper emotional work. People who reach out will get a collaborative approach that mixes action with emotion-focused work. The pace is set by the person receiving support, and the goals come from issues they want to change.
Connor frames therapy as a partnership toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling disconnected from what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive negative thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills; it is a strong option for people who want tools to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try options, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means sessions can shift between skill practice and deeper emotion work as needed, and the plan is shaped together rather than imposed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer quick, on-the-go support and ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, or travel.
