About Stacy

Stacy Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Stacy also supports people facing trauma, intimacy issues, sleep problems, ADHD, and concerns related to LGBT identity and caregiving stress.

She describes therapy as looking at patterns that repeat over time rather than only treating single symptoms. Stacy asks about the past and how it shapes current feelings and reactions. Sessions focus on understanding why certain thoughts and behaviors happen and on practical ways to change them.

Her day-to-day approach is conversational and straightforward. She builds the work around what the client already knows about themselves and the goals they want to reach. Stacy pays attention to strong emotions and difficult memories and helps people name and work through those experiences.

Stacy draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include techniques from cognitive behavioral work to acceptance-oriented strategies and attachment-based ideas about relationships. She also uses client-centered and emotionally focused methods when they fit the client’s goals.

Clients can expect a steady therapist who values clear goals and practical steps. Stacy encourages people to bring examples from daily life so the work connects to what really matters to them. To begin, readers should follow the site’s process for scheduling a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take small actions that align with their values. It can be useful for problems like anger, avoidance, and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce distress. It often helps with mood, anxiety, sleep, and anger patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and can help when relationship patterns and intimacy issues fuel anger or disconnect.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will talk with clients about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as the work unfolds.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a format that reduces screen time. Licensed professionals can deliver the same core tools and conversational work over distance, while adjusting exercises and homework to fit each person’s daily routine.
