About Stacy
Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of practice as an LCSW in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people reduce stress and anxiety, cope with depression and grief, and sort through relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Stacy believes therapy should center on lasting patterns, not only one problem at a time.
She strives to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through strong feelings and upsetting memories.
Background and approach
Stacy uses practical, clear methods to help people notice habits that keep them stuck. She mixes approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, emotion-focused techniques, and attachment-focused perspectives to match each person's needs. Sessions tend to look at how earlier experiences affect current choices and relationships.
The aim is to build understanding and make manageable changes. Her background includes work across medical and social service settings and experience with issues like caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care, and body image. She also supports people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and attention differences.
Stacy treats concerns tied to identity and life transitions, including LGBT-related matters and aging and geriatric issues. Therapy with Stacy emphasizes collaboration. She treats people as experts on their own lives and helps them set realistic goals.
Practical tools and steady emotional support are combined so people can try new strategies between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The clinician holds NC LCSW C010817 as her credential and practices within North Carolina.
Online approaches that fit real life
Stacy draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical strategies for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and lowering stress. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative, with space to try techniques and reflect on what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical schedules. This variety makes it easier to keep continuity and try different formats as needs change.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
