Cornelia (Connie) O'Marra, LCSW

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Connie integrates Internal Family Systems, attachment-based work, and client-centered methods to help people explore internal dynamics and improve relationships. Internal Family Systems (IFS) involves noticing and dialoguing with different parts of the self to reduce internal conflict and promote healing, which can be useful for trauma reactions, self-criticism, and chronic anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and helps clients understand how early relationships influence current emotional responses and relationship dynamics, supporting work around intimacy, abandonment, and trust. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients lead the pace and priorities of change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Connie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine techniques to tailor a plan that feels practical and respectful of cultural background and life context.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and try different modalities of interaction while working toward concrete goals.
