About Cornelia
Cornelia (Connie) O'Marra is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. She brings calm, straightforward support for people facing life changes, mood challenges, or difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem. Connie draws on 24 years of clinical experience in New Mexico and beyond.
She listens first and helps clients set small, practical goals. Sessions focus on what will make daily life easier, from sleep and eating concerns to coping with anger or compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with Native and Hispanic communities, and she is an enrolled Potawatomi tribal member. That experience informs how she pays attention to culture, history, and community in therapy. Connie also has a long history supporting people who have survived trauma or emotional abuse.
In sessions she blends familiar, evidence-based approaches so a person can find what fits. She uses client-centered conversation, cognitive-behavioral tools, attachment ideas, and EMDR where appropriate. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help people move toward concrete change.
Connie also offers trainings that teach communities practical ways to build resilience after trauma. She aims to make the work collaborative and clear, so people leave feeling they have a plan and next steps they can try.

Approach Options and Online Therapy That Fits Your Life
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape how people trust, connect, and ask for support. It can help when relationship worries, abandonment issues, or attachment concerns affect everyday life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing small changes to improve mood, sleep, or anxiety. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, offers a structured way to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional hold, which can be helpful for people with trauma or intense distress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face to face when visual cues matter, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step skills practice, or when written reflection helps. These options give flexibility for different rhythms of life and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
