Connor O'Shea , LPC

Connor O'Shea is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience who practices across Kansas, Colorado, and Missouri. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression, bringing focused skill to concerns around motivation and confidence as well. His training and background support work on a wide range of relational and emotional difficulties, including issues that stem from family of origin, attachment and abandonment, and patterns of isolation or impulsivity.

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and emphasizes collaboratively shaping the dialog and treatment plan to meet individual needs. Connor aims to empower clients to take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life, recognizing the courage it takes to begin change and providing steady support throughout the process. As an LPC he tailors evidence-informed techniques to the goals a person brings to therapy while attending to the particular context of their experiences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Connor O'Shea integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings - it can be useful for stress, low motivation, and patterns of avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of past traumatic events while building coping skills for safety and regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Connor works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership guides how sessions unfold and which strategies are emphasized.

Online therapy offers flexible options for engaging with a licensed professional - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging when that better fits a person's schedule and comfort. These formats make it easier to access consistent support while accommodating work, family, and geographic constraints.
