Dr. Camilla Connor, LPC

Dr. Camilla Connor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She welcomes people who are ready to make a change and wants to help them move toward a more meaningful life. Her work has included residential settings, private practice, and university counseling.

Dr. Connor uses a practical, flexible approach. She draws on several therapy methods to match what each person needs. Sessions are collaborative - she listens to a person’s story, helps identify barriers, and builds a plan for manageable steps forward.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, caregiver strain, sleep and eating concerns, and life transitions. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among her focus areas.

Dr. Connor brings trauma-focused perspectives to work on root causes and patterns that hold people back. That can include examining attachment, communication habits, or cycles that repeat in relationships. The goal is to weaken unhelpful patterns and strengthen coping and resilience.

Her style blends direct problem-solving with deeper exploration of meaning and values. She may use acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive tools, and emotionally focused techniques as part of a tailored plan. People who want clear steps plus space to reflect often find this approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dr. Connor uses approaches that focus on values, relationships, and practical thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and communication, aiming to shift those patterns for healthier connections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying an idea for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce commute time, which helps people fit sessions into busy days. It also lets someone choose a quieter time or a shorter check-in when needed. The therapist and client will agree on practical details together to make sessions useful and workable for everyday life.
