He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. Connor aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk through painful experiences and start making change.

Sessions typically center on clear goals and small, manageable skills people can practice in daily life.

With five years of professional experience, Connor has supported people dealing with relationship stress, attachment concerns, communication problems, and issues connected to family of origin. He also focuses on challenges like abandonment fears, commitment worries, body image, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. The aim is to make emotional problems feel more manageable and understandable.

Connor is licensed to practice in Kansas as an LPC and holds licenses in Colorado and Missouri as well. He offers several ways to meet so sessions can fit into a busy schedule. He encourages people to take the first step and reach out when they are ready to begin working toward clearer goals.

Every plan is developed together, so people leave sessions with concrete next steps. Connor balances straightforward feedback with empathy to help clients move toward the life they want.

Online approaches that fit your life

Connor commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build willingness to act on them despite difficult feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical emotion regulation and communication skills for intense emotions and relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps find what actually supports progress rather than sticking rigidly to one technique.

Online therapy offers several ways to meet that can fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and receive brief support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
