About RoseAnn

RoseAnn Connerley is a California-licensed therapist with 26 years of clinical experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to support clients through difficult transitions and persistent emotional patterns, encouraging practical skills alongside deeper exploration of feelings and attachment dynamics. Her style emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can name painful thoughts and try new ways of responding.

RoseAnn frames therapy as a process of empowerment, helping people build coping skills, strengthen self-compassion, and work through loss or relational wounds. She also brings experience addressing mood disorders, obsessions and compulsions, codependency, workplace concerns, and issues common to women and young adults.

Practicing as an LMFT, she combines cognitive and emotion-focused techniques with client-centered principles to tailor care to each person’s needs. Clients seeking a steady, experienced guide for practical problem solving and relational healing may find her approach grounded and approachable.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns formed in relationships and explores how early bonds influence current emotional responses and connection difficulties; it can help people struggling with attachment wounds and relationship distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering structured tools and exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress through clearer thinking and practical skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners and individuals name and shift painful emotional cycles to create more stable bonds and improved emotional regulation.

Choosing the right method is part of the collaborative process. RoseAnn approaches each client with curiosity and flexibility, working together to determine which combination of techniques best matches the person's goals, preferences, and life circumstances as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make participation more convenient. These formats support continuity of care across busy schedules and geographic constraints, allowing clients to access regular appointments, practice skills between sessions, and maintain momentum toward their goals.
