Stacy Connor, LCSW

Stacy Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She frames therapy around helping people feel more lovable, capable, and worthwhile. Stacy focuses on patterns that keep problems coming back rather than only treating single symptoms. She invites clients to look at how past experiences shape present reactions and relationships.

Stacy believes the relationship between therapist and client is the most important part of therapy. She encourages people to see themselves as the expert on their life while she offers guidance and tools. Sessions are practical and aimed at helping clients move toward the goals they identify.

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Stacy also attends to related areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, codependency, communication problems, and commitment worries.

Stacy uses several therapeutic approaches to match different needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She is comfortable working with strong feelings and traumatic memories and aims to help clients resolve the underlying issues that keep distress recurring.

Stacy works with people across North Carolina and conducts therapy in a way that fits each client’s goals and pace. She helps clients identify steps that lead toward lasting change and supports them through the difficult work of change.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and persistent avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress and teaching practical skills to change them; it often helps with depression, sleep issues, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current closeness and trust, which can help with intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and grounded in clear, achievable steps.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on scheduling needs. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt techniques like ACT and CBT to work well over distance and focus on skills you can use between meetings.
