About Stacy
Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in North Carolina. She has nine years of experience as an LCSW and brings a steady, straightforward style to therapy. Stacy helps people untangle long-standing patterns and strong feelings so they can feel more capable and connected.
She focuses on how past experiences shape current struggles. Sessions often look at recurring themes rather than single problems. Stacy works with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Stacy also addresses challenges related to adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and ADHD. She supports people dealing with commitment and control issues, codependency, communication problems, and blended family stress. People who identify as LGBT may find her approach relevant to their needs.
Her style blends practical skills with space for emotion. She uses therapies such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, emotionally-focused work, and client-centered listening. Stacy aims to build a reliable working relationship first, then collaborate on clear goals.
In sessions she invites curiosity about why patterns repeat and what can change them. The process includes talking about the past, noticing present reactions, and trying new ways of responding. The overall goal is to help people feel more lovable, capable, and worthwhile.
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small steps toward a life they care about. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then testing new ways of thinking and acting. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help with intimacy, trust, and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your history, goals, and preferences, and then suggest strategies to try. You and the therapist will adjust methods over time based on what helps you make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets you see facial cues and practice conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when writing helps you process. These options make it easier to work therapy into a busy life while still focusing on real change.
