Stacy Connor, LCSW

Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She draws on nearly a decade of post-licensure practice and a longer history in social services to help people who feel stuck by ongoing patterns and strong emotions.

Stacy frames therapy around understanding recurring thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people respond to stress, relationships, and loss. She invites clients to look at how past experiences affect current behavior and feelings. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and naming patterns that keep problems active.

Her approach blends several methods to match individual needs rather than following a single technique. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, self-esteem, anger, and compassion fatigue. Stacy also addresses issues such as attachment struggles, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns.

Stacy practices in North Carolina and brings experience from multiple settings, including work with medical and military-connected clients and foster care populations. She emphasizes collaboration - clients are treated as the experts on their own lives while she offers guidance and tools to shift unhelpful patterns.

Therapy with Stacy aims to help people notice habitual thoughts and behaviors, try small changes, and build momentum toward goals they define together. The work moves at a practical pace and centers on what matters most to each person.

Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants practical steps to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses clear exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is commonly helpful for anxiety, sleep issues, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional reactions, which can be useful for intimacy, trust, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort. That decision is reviewed over time as progress and priorities change.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels uncomfortable. Licensed professionals use online work to focus on changing daily thoughts and habits, practicing skills between sessions, and tracking small steps toward the goals clients set.
