Conner McFarlin, LSCSW

Conner McFarlin, LSCSW (licensed clinical social worker), practices in Kansas and brings seven years of professional experience to her work. She spent five of those years as a middle school social worker, where she supported both student and staff mental health, and earlier taught relationship education using the Gottman Institute curriculum. Her background blends school-based practice and relationship-focused education to inform a practical, empathetic approach to therapy.

She supports people managing stress and anxiety, navigating relationship and attachment challenges, healing from trauma and abuse, and building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Conner works with clients to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, recognizing that seeking change takes courage and that each person’s path to a more fulfilling life looks different.

Conner aims to support and empower clients through those first steps toward change and throughout the therapeutic process. She welcomes the opportunity to connect and partner with individuals who are ready to work toward greater wellbeing and stronger relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and expectations in close connections. It helps people understand attachment styles, improve communication, and address relationship or intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - or CBT - looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress by changing unhelpful thinking and habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and building self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Conner collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, drawing on techniques commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists to tailor care over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the way of communicating that feels most effective for the individual.
