About Stacy

Stacy Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with nine years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, depression, LGBT issues, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Stacy emphasizes looking beyond single symptoms to understand recurring patterns and how early experiences shape current struggles.

She works in a straightforward, conversational way and invites people to notice how thoughts and behaviors connect. Stacy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and test different responses. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based thinking to explore values, relationships, and emotional bonds.

Stacy describes therapy as a collaborative process. She treats clients as the best experts on their own lives and helps them set clear, practical goals. Sessions include talking through past experiences and practicing new ways of responding in day-to-day situations.

Her background includes long-term work with children and adults across multiple settings, and she has experience supporting people affected by medical illness, military service, foster care, and caregiving demands. Stacy is prepared to work with strong emotions and traumatic memories while focusing on concrete steps people can try between sessions.

Clients who prefer practical, structured work that connects thoughts, feelings, and actions may find this approach useful. Stacy offers services in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Stacy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of reacting. CBT sessions often include clear exercises and homework to practice new responses to stress and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build willingness to act toward those values despite difficult feelings. This approach can help with grief, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Attachment-Based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and emotional bonds, focusing on how early experiences shape current reactions.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Stacy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and challenges emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people practice new skills in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to match daily schedules and practical goals.
