About Cornelia
Cornelia (Connie) O'Marra is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and problems with self esteem. Connie aims to make the first step feel manageable and to create a calm space for people to talk through what matters most to them.
Connie listens in a straightforward, respectful way and focuses on practical next steps. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused thinking to help people identify small changes that can make daily life easier. Her work with trauma includes methods to reduce distress and restore a sense of control.
She has experience working in Native and Hispanic communities and is an enrolled Potawatomi tribal member. That background shapes how she pays attention to culture and context in sessions. Connie also runs trainings that help communities build resilience after traumatic events.
In sessions she prioritizes collaboration and trust. Clients map goals together and choose strategies that fit their values and routines. Conversations often include problem-solving, skills practice, and checking how new choices are working in daily life.
Connie describes the process as step-by-step. She meets people where they are, helps them name what matters, and supports them as they try new approaches. Her aim is to help people feel more capable and to find workable solutions for ongoing challenges.
