About Camilla
Dr. Camilla Connor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of clinical experience. She draws on several therapy approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and parenting challenges.

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work to address unhelpful thoughts and relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill building for emotion regulation and clearer communication. For people who have experienced trauma, she combines emotionally-focused techniques with acceptance and commitment strategies to reduce avoidance and rebuild a sense of safety. That effort includes naming painful patterns and practicing new, manageable behaviors in daily life.
She also supports those coping with life transitions, career stress, caregiver burnout, and issues linked to adoption or attachment rupture. Conversations center on practical goals like improving sleep, managing anger, or navigating intimacy concerns. Dr.
Connor frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust strategies when something is not working. The aim is steady, achievable change that fits each person’s life.
Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with attention to spiritual and personal values when clients want that included. People seeking help can expect clear plans, measurable skills, and guidance for moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Connor uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. CBT often involves homework and simple experiments to try between sessions.She also integrates attachment-based work and emotionally-focused therapy to address relationship patterns and closeness issues. These approaches help people notice interaction cycles, name emotions, and practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and build connection.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful. Clients share feedback regularly so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotion work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain regular momentum toward goals.
