About Maureen O’Connell
Maureen recognizes the gap that often exists between a person’s values and their day-to-day functioning, and she emphasizes that steady, compassionate therapy can help bring greater internal harmony. Her work focuses on teaching practical skills to gradually interrupt anxiety cycles and rebuild a life more aligned with what matters most.
She integrates a range of evidence-based approaches to suit each individual, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, psychodynamic principles, trauma-focused methods, internal family systems (IFS), and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Grounded in compassion, attachment theory, and family systems perspectives, her approach aims not just to help clients cope but to support healing and growth. In her private practice, Best Self Therapy & Wellness, Maureen helps clients move toward greater peace and functioning, and she welcomes inquiries from those ready to take the first step.
