Connor Skeen, LCSW

Clients can expect a space where you are free to vent frustrations, express anxieties, and learn practical coping skills for managing difficult emotions. I view you as an equal partner in the therapeutic process and take a collaborative approach to helping you discover healthier, more effective ways to navigate life’s stressors.

My primary focus throughout my career has been supporting individuals struggling with addiction, anxiety disorders, and depression. I consider being a good listener one of my greatest strengths, and I have extensive experience helping you explore and restructure thought patterns to promote wellness, build self-confidence, and improve self-image.

I graduated from Monmouth University in 2020 with a Master’s degree in Social Work. Over the past 6 years, I have worked in the field of addiction, supporting individuals facing opioid use, alcohol use, and other substance use disorders, while also providing psychotherapy to adults, children, couples, and families. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, substance use, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. My therapeutic approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Existential Therapy in a way that feels practical and meaningful to you. I aim to help you gain insight into the challenges you are facing while also offering concrete, achievable steps toward change.

I believe every person needs something different from therapy—whether that is education, support, guidance, or simply a compassionate listening ear. My goal is to help you discover what you need most and how I can best support you. I like to think of life as a story, and in therapy we will explore your story with you as the main character. Even if you feel stuck in a difficult chapter, I believe that together we can begin to turn the page toward something better.
