About Stacy
Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people feel more lovable, capable, and worthwhile by looking at patterns that repeat over time rather than only treating isolated problems. Stacy draws on nine years of recent clinical experience together with earlier work across many settings to support people in moving toward healthier routines and relationships.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Stacy listens for how past experiences shape present reactions and helps clients make sense of their thoughts and behavior. Sessions often include talking through strong feelings and learning new ways to respond when stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship problems come up.
Stacy uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She may use acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and attachment-focused work to improve closeness and trust. The aim is to find practical steps that feel doable between sessions.
People commonly bring concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, codependency, ADHD, sleep problems, or caregiver stress. Stacy also supports those facing challenges tied to aging, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, or body image. Her style is steady, compassionate, and direct when needed.
Therapy begins by identifying goals together and exploring what keeps old patterns in place. Stacy helps clients build small, sustainable changes and tracks progress over time. She encourages open conversation about what is and isn’t working so the plan can be adjusted as needed.
How these approaches are used in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns like codependency where people want more meaningful direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, improve sleep, and help manage anger or low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and trust, and it can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and repairing relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy treats approach selection as collaborative. She will discuss your goals and what feels most useful, then try strategies together and adjust based on how things go. That way the plan grows out of your needs rather than a fixed method.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, handle brief check-ins on a work break, or choose a session style that reduces travel time. It also lets you continue work between in-person visits when schedules or health needs change. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing and frequency so sessions fit your routine.
