About Maureen
Maureen Connell is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and depression. She helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed and offers steady, practical support during sessions.
Her approach centers on listening first and then building on what each person already knows about themselves. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and on emotionally-focused work to notice and name strong feelings.
Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, try small changes, and check what does and doesn’t work. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy may be introduced for handling intense emotions and managing stress in the moment.
Maureen has worked with a wide range of life issues including abandonment and attachment wounds, body image and self-love struggles, communication problems, divorce and separation, and substance-related concerns. She also supports people facing isolation, life-purpose questions, multicultural stressors, and post-traumatic stress.
She accepts clients internationally and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses to others. Online work with this approach helps people notice connection patterns and try new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes. In online sessions CBT is used to set small tasks, track thought patterns, and review what changes in behavior do for mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maureen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix of attachment work, CBT, or emotionally focused techniques as needs and progress become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy week and make it easier to keep regular appointments. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and supports using tools and worksheets between meetings to practice new skills.
