About Maureen
Maureen Connell is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem, guiding people toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Maureen builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through hard feelings and everyday worries.
She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at practical progress rather than jargon. Her approach draws on relationship-focused methods and evidence-based therapies. That includes tools from the Gottman Method to help improve communication and connection, and attachment-based ideas to understand patterns that repeat in relationships.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to address anxious or negative thinking. Maureen also uses client-centered practices to keep the therapy focused on each person’s needs, and dialectical behavior therapy skills when people need help managing strong emotions or distress. She adapts methods to fit what each person brings to the room.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, body image, addiction, family of origin issues, post-traumatic stress, and life transitions. Maureen supports people working through communication problems, divorce and separation, or the strain of feeling isolated. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Maureen aims to make therapy practical and respectful so people can move toward a steadier, more confident life.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Maureen blends relationship-focused methods and practical skills in online sessions. The Gottman Method offers clear tools for improving communication, resolving conflicts, and rebuilding connection in close relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships to explain repeated worries or distance, and it helps people change those patterns to feel safer in relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maureen will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing new skills between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
