About Connor

Connor Meers is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and concerns about self-esteem and motivation. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Connor helps people talk through guilt and shame tied to relationships, past choices, or identity questions. He also addresses stress, loneliness, substance use, body image, and sexuality. Conversations are practical and focused on what feels most urgent for the person in front of him.

He uses straightforward methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts, setting small goals to rebuild confidence, or finding moments that already feel better and building on them. He does not promise outcomes, but works with clients on clear next steps and measurable changes.

Connor adapts the pace to the client's needs, balancing direct feedback with listening. He can help someone sort through guilt about actions or identity, and work toward clearer decision-making. When substance use is a concern, he incorporates motivational strategies to help people consider change.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted at this time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Connor uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts that feed guilt and shame. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns and practicing new ways of responding to situations.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck or ambivalent. This method centers on the person's own reasons for change and small, manageable next steps.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the initial work. He collaborates with clients to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That means checking in and adjusting plans as progress is made or priorities shift.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and help with consistent weekly check-ins. Some formats work better for quick check-ins and others for longer skill-building sessions, so format choice can reflect whether someone needs a brief touchpoint or a full therapy hour.
