About RoseAnn
RoseAnn Connerley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 26 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship concerns, and heal from trauma, abuse, grief, and loss. She also works with people experiencing depression and related mood struggles.
RoseAnn centers conversations on emotions and attachment. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. Sessions focus on naming difficult feelings and spotting patterns that keep people stuck. Practical steps and thought tools are used when helpful.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people try different ways of responding. Therapy sessions often include discussing recent events, practicing new ways of communicating, and checking how those changes land in everyday life.
Over her career she has worked with a wide range of life stresses, including workplace strain, issues tied to family of origin, divorce and separation, infidelity, and worries that come with aging. She has also supported people facing obsessive-compulsive patterns, post-traumatic stress, and complications after disasters.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in California. RoseAnn explains what happens in each meeting and encourages people to take small steps between sessions. To begin, she asks people to notice which patterns cause the most pain and what they hope would be different.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used for relationship patterns and attachment-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating that feel more connected and less reactive. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening approach where the therapist follows what the client brings and helps them find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. RoseAnn will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean combining emotion-focused work with practical cognitive strategies or shifting focus as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. They can also help people continue regular meetings after moving or during periods of high stress. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing, homework, and communication to match what works best for each person.
