About Maureen
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in New York with 15 years of experience, Maureen Connell focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship struggles, self-esteem, and depression. She works directly with people to name what feels hard and to clarify goals for everyday life. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to feelings and practical next steps.
Maureen uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. She pairs that with client-centered listening so each person’s priorities guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are available when clients want concrete tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
She addresses issues such as abandonment, family of origin conflicts, communication problems, and life transitions like divorce or a midlife reassessment. Maureen also supports people facing trauma symptoms, substance concerns, body image and self-love work, and multicultural or LGBT-related stressors. Her practice includes conversations about forgiveness, isolation, and finding purpose.
Sessions tend to blend reflection about relationship patterns with practical skill-building. Treatment plans are shaped by what the person wants to change and what fits their daily life. Maureen aims to help people notice patterns, try small experiments, and track progress between meetings.
People who contact her should expect straightforward dialogue about current struggles and clear suggestions for what to work on next. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

It is useful for people who notice repeating problems in close relationships or who struggle with trust and closeness.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The therapist helps clarify goals and reflects back what is most important to the client, which can help with self-esteem and decision-making.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Maureen will discuss which methods match a person’s goals and preferences and adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients and therapist decide together what to try and when to shift focus.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for quieter check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. They also let people try different pacing and skill-practice without needing to travel, which many find helpful for building consistency.
