About Stacy
Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with nine years of professional experience. She frames therapy around helping people feel lovable, capable, and worthwhile. Stacy emphasizes a steady therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.
She takes a broad view of problems, looking for patterns that keep issues repeating. Stacy invites clients to consider how past experiences affect current feelings and choices. She uses that understanding to help address the roots of ongoing distress rather than only treating surface symptoms.
How Stacy works
Stacy works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing challenges such as ADHD, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image concerns, and relationship communication problems. LGBT concerns and work-related compassion fatigue are among her common focus areas.
Her approach blends practical, skills-based methods and emotion-focused work. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused perspectives, emotionally-focused approaches, and client-centered care. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded - talking through thoughts and trying small changes between meetings.
Stacy has experience across many settings and with varied life circumstances. She invites collaboration, treats clients as experts on their own lives, and helps set clear goals. People who want a thoughtful, steady guide through difficult feelings may find her style a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for stress, mood concerns, sleeping issues, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection patterns and emotional responses, helping with intimacy-related struggles and relationship communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends strategies and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people see facial expressions and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins or when writing feels clearer than talking. These options help fit therapy into different schedules and life demands, making it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
