About Cornelia
Cornelia (Connie) O'Marra is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, mood disorders, and life transitions. Connie also supports those coping with addiction, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or body image.
Connie brings a straightforward, collaborative style to sessions. She listens first, then helps people find practical steps that fit their lives. Sessions focus on clear goals and tools that can be used between meetings to steady mood and improve relationships.
Background and approach
Her background includes substantial work in Native and Hispanic communities, and she is an enrolled Potawatomi tribal member. That experience shapes how she thinks about culture, resilience, and healing after trauma or emotional abuse. She also has experience running trainings that help communities build skills to respond to trauma.
Connie uses approaches that emphasize connection, present concerns, and thinking patterns. She applies attachment-informed ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns. For trauma, she may include methods that support processing painful memories and reactions.
Her style is calm and practical. She aims to make the work manageable and relevant to daily life. If someone needs help sorting feelings, repairing communication, or learning new coping skills, Connie focuses on realistic steps and ongoing support.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early connections shape adult relationships and helps people notice and change patterns in how they relate to others. It can be useful for improving intimacy, attachment issues, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and build new habits; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact by using structured sets of attention and memory work.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, goals, and preferences, then recommend methods that fit the person’s needs. If one approach doesn’t feel right, the plan can be adjusted over time to find what helps most.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to stay connected beyond in-person visits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins, reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care, fit sessions into busy days, and keep consistent momentum toward goals.
