About Stacy
Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings nine years of LCSW experience to her work and focuses on helping people find more balance, meaning, and emotional safety. Stacy emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.
She approaches concerns by looking at patterns that repeat over time instead of only treating single symptoms. That means talking about how past experiences affect current feelings and behaviors. Stacy is comfortable addressing intense emotions, trauma memories, grief, caregiver stress, and medical-related challenges such as cancer and chronic illness.
Sessions typically blend practical skills and reflective work. This can include learning new ways to respond to anxiety and anger, addressing attachment and relationship difficulties, and working through issues tied to identity, adoption, or caregiving roles. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles.
Stacy names Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy among her approaches. She uses these methods to help people notice what matters to them, shift unhelpful patterns, and strengthen emotional connection in relationships.
To begin, someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them, which often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build safer, more satisfying ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and needs. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new challenges arise.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. It also makes it possible to continue support through medical treatment, caregiving duties, or other life demands without needing to rearrange as much of the day.
