About

Caught in the cycle of impulsive decisions, negative thinking, or the secret weight of addiction? I help adults, couples and students move from feelings of being stuck to a life that actually feels worth living. I’m Lane McConnell, an LMFT with 20 years of experience specializing in the 'complex' stuff—BPD, addiction, and deep-rooted relational conflict. I tailor my therapy approach to you based on what has and has not worked for you in the past. Together we will set therapy goals to help you remove present barriers, suffering and emotional pain and learn skills so you can live your life to your upmost potential. I work with adults, adolescents, families and couples online. I have the expertise in providing clients with the skills they need to improve their lives. I am trained in a variety of models: CBT, DBT, abstinence & harm reduction, and psychodynamic therapy. I create a safe space for clients to process their feelings and practice skills. I believe successful therapy works best when there is a positive empathetic working relationship between the client & therapist. Telehealth (online) allows you to alleviate transportation, or location issues. You can be seen from the privacy of your home, office or while traveling within California. Please feel free to call me for a free phone consultation. Specialties: I often work with clients who may be struggling to regulate their emotions, have challenges in their relationships, and issues related to addiction. During our initial sessions I will gather background information and then work with you to create treatment goals. We will also discuss your interest in skills training and homework and how these things can decrease your symptoms. Credentials & Experience: I have over 15 years of experience helping adults and teens with substance use and addiction challenges. Additionally, I have been working couples since starting my private practice in 2010. I have completed several trainings in DBT and trauma-informed therapy.

"I often use a combinations of Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I have found these methods to be very effective in helping the majority of my clients reach their therapy goals. I also use coaching strategies and skills for those clients who want to focus more on life goals and personal growth."
