About Maureen
Maureen Connell is a New York licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, and depression, and often addresses life purpose questions. Maureen speaks English and accepts international clients.
Maureen uses straightforward, talk-based work to help people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. She listens to what matters most, then helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and support for handling strong emotions.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults facing attachment wounds, abandonment, and family of origin issues. She also works with people navigating divorce, domestic violence aftermath, addiction, and post-traumatic stress. These areas often overlap with loneliness, body image concerns, and multicultural stresses.
In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to clarify relationship patterns and emotionally-focused tools to improve connection and communication. She also integrates CBT and skills from DBT when clients need concrete techniques for anxiety, mood shifts, or impulsive behavior.
Practical matters are part of the work. Maureen uses a subscription-based fee model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button. If you are wondering what comes next, she focuses on clear steps and manageable skills to move forward.
How Maureen’s approaches translate to online work
Maureen draws from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and help people recognize and change those patterns. Client-centered methods focus on listening closely and prioritizing the client’s priorities so sessions follow what matters most that week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She treats selecting methods as a collaborative process and will help clients test what fits best. Goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions guide whether more emotion-focused or skills-based work is emphasized.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt emotion-focused conversations and CBT exercises to remote sessions, while pacing and session length are adjusted to match daily schedules and needs.
