About Connor
Connor Meers is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns such as self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, stress, anxiety, and LGBT-related issues. Connor speaks both English and Spanish and works with people who want practical changes in daily habits and thinking.
Connor uses straightforward conversations to identify what is getting in the way of feeling better. He often helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and small behavioral patterns that keep problems going. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other brief, goal-focused methods to set concrete short-term steps.
Sessions tend to include clear, actionable tasks between meetings. That can mean trying a new way of responding to stressful thoughts, tracking mood or behavior, or practicing brief experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. Connor may also use motivational approaches when making changes around substance use or other habits.
He draws on five years of practical experience rather than long theoretical descriptions. That experience includes work with people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, body image, sexuality, and relationship structures such as polyamory or non-monogamy.
Connor’s approach is collaborative and focused on what clients want to change next. He asks concrete questions, sets measurable goals, and checks progress in each session so adjustments are clear and straightforward.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Connor uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as thought records, activity planning, and brief behavioral experiments to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels low. That approach centers on exploring a person’s own reasons for change and strengthening their commitment without pressure. Finding the right method is part of the work together. Connor will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist collaborate on which techniques to prioritize and how to pace progress. Confirm specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people do real-time homework between sessions, such as mood tracking or in-the-moment practice, which fits well with CBT and solution-focused work.Areas of expertise
