About Cornelia
Cornelia (Connie) O'Marra is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, and relationship or family concerns. She works with issues like intimacy struggles, eating and sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, mood disorders, and coping with life changes.
Connie aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward for anyone feeling overwhelmed. Connie uses an attachment-based outlook to understand how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She combines that with client-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. For people impacted by trauma, she also uses EMDR techniques and motivational interviewing strategies when those fit the situation. Her background includes long experience in Native and Hispanic communities, and she is an enrolled Potawatomi tribal member.
That experience informs how she attends to cultural context and resilience when helping people heal from loss or abuse. She also runs trainings that teach communities ways to respond to trauma and strengthen wellbeing. In sessions, Connie focuses on clear goals, simple strategies, and steady support.
She helps people name what matters, try small changes, and build on what already works in their lives. The pace is collaborative and grounded in what each person needs. Connie practices in New Mexico as an LCSW licensed in New Mexico and Idaho.
She offers sessions in English and can guide someone through next steps if they decide to begin therapy.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early bonds influence present relationships. Online sessions let someone talk through patterns of trust, closeness, and distance while reflecting on interactions that matter now. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are, offering a space to be heard and to set personal goals during video or phone sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it lends itself well to online work with homework, tracking, and step-by-step exercises that clients can use between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Connie will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on real progress and personal preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text can work for shorter check-ins, quick coping skills, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
