About Stacy

Stacy Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a history of working with children and adults in many settings.

Background and approach

Stacy focuses on helping people feel more capable, lovable, and worthwhile. She meets people where they are and starts from their real concerns.

Stacy uses psychotherapy to look at patterns that keep problems returning. She asks about past events and how they shape current feelings and behavior.

That work can help reduce ongoing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with relationships and intimacy. Her approach blends practical, evidence-based ideas with a warm, client-centered stance.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early connections affect current relationships.

Stacy has worked with people facing trauma, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and identity concerns including LGBT issues. She also helps with sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and challenges linked to adoption, abandonment, or blended family dynamics.

In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship first. Then she helps clients set clear, manageable goals and practices that can be used between sessions.

The aim is steady, practical progress toward the life people want.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and relationship work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when avoidance has become a habit.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating to others. It can help people understand patterns in intimacy and repair ways of connecting that cause recurring conflict or distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they set goals and adjust methods as progress is made.

Online sessions make regular care easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins or questions between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins, or working from different locations while continuing steady progress.
