Dr. Camilla Connor

Dr. Camilla Connor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She uses practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship problems. Dr. Connor aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on everyday change.

She has worked in residential settings, private practice, and university environments, so she is familiar with different kinds of day-to-day struggles. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals like reducing anxiety, improving sleep and eating habits, or finding ways to cope with grief and loss. She also helps people address addictions, career issues, and compassion fatigue.

Her style draws on a range of therapeutic approaches so the work can match each person’s needs. That means using techniques from Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit the situation. The therapist talks through problems, identifies patterns, and practices small changes that add up over time.

People often come for help with intimacy concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, body image, or major life transitions. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and recovery after a disaster. Sessions emphasize practical steps and personal strengths.

Dr. Connor works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. She encourages steady, manageable change and coaches clients toward outcomes that matter to them.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and slowly processing traumatic memories and reactions. It can help reduce the impact of past trauma on daily life by working step by step through distressing memories and responses.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action, which can help when facing anxiety, depression, or big life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize connection styles and practice new ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a couple of techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain regular contact and keep therapy consistent while focusing on practical steps and skill practice.
