About Stacy
Stacy Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in North Carolina with nine years of post-licensure experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, depression, grief, and related challenges. Stacy also lists work with LGBT concerns, family topics, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She describes therapy as a look at patterns rather than only isolated problems. Stacy invites exploration of how past experiences shape present feelings and behavior. Conversations often include attention to attachment history and recurring emotional themes.
In sessions she pays attention to strong feelings and difficult memories. She uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-oriented strategies, emotionally-focused work, attachment-based thinking, and a client-centered style. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer understanding of personal responses.
Stacy aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship first. That relationship is the foundation for addressing longstanding issues such as abandonment, codependency, blended family strains, or caregiver stress. She also assists people coping with chronic illness, body image concerns, and the stresses tied to adoption or foster care.
Her background includes work across multiple settings with children and adults. Stacy frames clients as the experts in their own lives and collaborates on goals and steps forward. She emphasizes slow, understandable change rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they fit daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then taking valued action. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of parenting tasks or relationship steps.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape reactions now. It is useful for adults who want to understand patterns in intimacy, caregiving, or family conflict.
Stacy treats finding the right approach as a shared project. She will review what feels most useful and try methods that match a person's goals and preferences. That means adjustments over time rather than one set path.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use video or phone options when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are important. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so therapy fits everyday life.
