Connor O'Shea, LPC

Connor O'Shea is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience working with adults across a range of emotional and relational concerns. He is licensed to practice in Kansas, Colorado, and Missouri and combines practical skills with a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to support people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. Connor also works with relationship difficulties, self-esteem and confidence struggles, motivation, and related concerns that often interfere with daily functioning and overall well-being.

Connor adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each person's individual situation, drawing on evidence-informed strategies to address problems such as communication challenges, attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He approaches therapy with respect and sensitivity and aims to empower people to take the steps they choose toward a more fulfilling, satisfying life. Seeking help is a meaningful first step, and Connor offers steady support and practical guidance throughout the change process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Connor frequently applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT is action-oriented and useful for addressing symptoms and everyday problems that interfere with functioning.

He also incorporates trauma-focused therapy for those working through the impact of traumatic or abusive experiences. This approach centers on processing traumatic memories and reducing the ways those experiences shape current reactions and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Connor works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect for care - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or life events intervene, and access support from a licensed professional from a convenient location.
