Stacy Connor, LCSW

Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience. She works with adults in North Carolina and focuses on helping people feel more capable, lovable, and worthwhile. Stacy emphasizes a thoughtful, relational approach that pays attention to patterns that repeat over time.

She blends practical talk with attention to life history. Stacy listens for recurring feelings and behaviors and then helps people make changes that fit their goals. Sessions include looking at how past experiences shape present reactions and finding small, manageable shifts to reduce distress.

Stacy uses several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy, to guide the process. She draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. This makes room for emotion-focused work when needed.

Her background includes work across a range of settings, supporting people facing grief, trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and identity-related concerns. Stacy is comfortable addressing strong emotions, traumatic memories, and complex life stressors. She also helps with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and attention-related challenges.

Stacy asks clients to see themselves as experts on their lives. Together they set practical goals and try strategies that fit daily routines. Therapy is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Stacy often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, sleep issues, depression, and attention-related concerns.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while building actions that matter to them. ACT can be useful when avoidance or worry get in the way of meaningful living.

Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work around relationship patterns and strong emotions. This approach looks at how early bonds shape responses in adult relationships and can help with intimacy and trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they’ll decide which methods to try. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what actually fits the person’s life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, journaling between sessions, or quick skill practice. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit different schedules and daily routines.
