About Camilla

Dr. Camilla Connor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She has worked in residential settings, private practice, and university environments. She lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD among others.

Dr. Connor uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and existential ideas to guide sessions. Her work often focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings.

In sessions she talks through the situation, identifies patterns that keep problems going, and tests small changes to daily routines and thinking. She also addresses intense responses that come from past trauma and aims to help people reduce their burden of distress. The tone is direct and task-oriented, with room for longer reflection when needed.

People who are dealing with blended household strains - such as stepparenting, co-parenting tensions, loyalty conflicts, or merging routines - are listed among the areas she focuses on. She can also help with intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, and coping with life changes.

Dr. Connor explains her LPC credential as a Missouri Licensed Professional Counselor. Her practice language is English and she does not take international clients. Getting started involves completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that fit a person's values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions in a blended household. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. That approach suits problems like insomnia, mood shifts, and daily routine changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and closeness. It can help people understand loyalty conflicts and reactions in stepfamily relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then use one or more methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and can shift as issues change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or reduce travel time. They also allow for continued work when schedules or responsibilities make in-person visits difficult. The therapist uses her clinical approaches to guide practical, goal-focused work in whatever session format is arranged.
