About Jeremy
Jeremy O'Conner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with 20 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and other strong emotions. He works with concerns like addiction, trauma, relationship and family issues, and caregiver strain.
His approach is down-to-earth and practical. He focuses on understanding what matters to each person and then building steps they can try between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with room to talk about feelings and daily struggles.
Background and approach
Jeremy uses clear tools rather than jargon so people can apply them in real life. Jeremy blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. He also uses motivational interviewing to foster personal motivation and solution-focused ideas to set short-term, achievable goals.
For trauma-related concerns he draws on trauma-focused approaches to help people process painful memories safely. He has a background in social work and long experience supervising and teaching other clinicians. That grounding informs a steady, experienced style in session.
Jeremy values purpose and meaning, and often talks about how reconnecting to those things can change daily choices. Sessions may include talking, practical exercises, and steps to practice at home. The focus is on skills that reduce overwhelm, manage anger, and rebuild a sense of direction and control.

Approaches that guide online work and progress
Jeremy often uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions start with the person's goals and experiences and the therapist listens and reflects so the person feels understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to untangle feelings and decide what matters most.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a method that looks at how thoughts influence emotions and actions and then teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, anger, low mood, and habits that get in the way of daily life.
Motivational interviewing is another tool he applies when people feel stuck or uncertain about change; it helps increase motivation by exploring values and ambivalence rather than pushing advice.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match the client's goals, and adjust as needed. People often move between brief solution-focused steps and deeper CBT or trauma work depending on progress and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make fits easier for busy schedules. Video is good for fuller conversations, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it possible to keep momentum and fit work into daily life.
