Stacy Connor, LCSW

Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker who brings nine years of experience to her practice in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people feel more lovable, capable, and worthwhile by looking beyond single problems to the patterns that keep them stuck. Stacy approaches care with calm attention to strong emotions, difficult memories, and everyday struggles.

She favors talking through how the past affects the present and finding practical ways to change recurring cycles. Sessions are rooted in getting to know each person's story and building a working relationship that supports steady progress. Stacy encourages clients to recognize the reasons behind their thoughts and behaviors so real change can begin.

Her work includes support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports clients facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, cancer-related challenges, addiction of patterns like codependency, and self-esteem or body image worries. Mindful attention to attachment, abandonment, and blended-family dynamics is part of her focus.

Stacy uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, emotionally focused tools, and client-centered conversation. She helps clients translate insights into doable steps for daily life. The goal is steady movement toward goals the client sets.

People who prefer a thoughtful, collaborative therapist may find Stacy a good fit. She asks questions, listens closely, and partners with clients to set realistic goals. To begin, prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How these approaches help in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, chronic health struggles, and situations where avoidance keeps problems going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust and helps people build different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them as progress is made, making therapy a collaborative effort rather than a fixed plan.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work on chronic illness, caregiving responsibilities, or grief without leaving home, while keeping the focus on goals and practical steps that can be used between sessions.
