Jeremy O'Conner

Jeremy O’Conner is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 20 years of experience. He currently serves as the Clinical Director at California Youth Services and has acted as a field instructor and clinical supervisor since 2013.

He earned a Master of Social Work from California State University, Long Beach in 2005 after completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Concordia University, Irvine. Throughout his career Jeremy has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, compassion fatigue, and crisis situations.

Jeremy also works with individuals who have experienced physical trauma, emotional abuse, and post-traumatic stress. His approach is grounded in a conviction that people who struggle deserve care and compassion when they need help. He recognizes how stress, anxiety, sadness, and shifts in purpose or meaning can undermine quality of life, and he attends to the role that underlying beliefs and core values play in recovery.

Jeremy primarily uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, client-centered techniques, and solution-focused therapy to support clients in making practical changes. He is active in his Christian faith and describes his work as informed by his commitment to the great commission. Soli Deo Gloria.
