About Connor

Connor Meers is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota with five years of clinical experience supporting people through mood and identity concerns.

Background and approach

He draws on cognitive behavioral methods alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help clients build practical skills, increase motivation, and identify concrete steps toward their goals. Connor emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in his work, shaping conversations and treatment plans around each person's needs and values.

Connor’s practice welcomes exploration of issues such as low self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, stress, and LGBT-related concerns, as well as related areas like body image, substance use, shame, isolation, and questions about sexuality and non-monogamous relationships. Sessions aim to be collaborative and action-oriented while honoring the emotional work people bring.

He encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and works to make the process approachable and tailored to individual circumstances.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Connor integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing into online care to address patterns of thinking and to build motivation for change. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical strategies and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or stress. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes exploring ambivalence and strengthening a person's own reasons for change, which can be especially useful for substance use concerns or shifting habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Connor works with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This means techniques may shift between structured skill-building and supportive, motivational conversations depending on what a client needs most.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging creates flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to access ongoing support, maintain momentum between meetings, and use different communication styles to fit comfort and practical needs.
