Stacy Connor, LCSW

Stacy Connor is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in North Carolina with nine years of experience. She emphasizes helping people feel lovable, capable, and worthwhile by looking beyond single problems to long-term patterns. Stacy values building a strong working relationship and meets people where they are in order to set realistic goals together.

She takes time to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviors. That often means talking through difficult memories, strong emotions, or repeated relationship patterns. Stacy uses practical strategies and thoughtful listening to help people make steady change rather than quick fixes.

Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a range of life stresses such as caregiving strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and body image struggles.

Stacy draws from a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and emotionally-focused practices. She explains ideas plainly and helps clients try skills between sessions. The focus is on what helps someone function better day to day.

People who prefer a collaborative, steady, and practical pace may find her style helpful. To begin, the usual next step is to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction after loss. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people change patterns in how they relate to others. This approach is often helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new skills to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Stacy will work with each person to choose and adapt approaches based on their goals, needs, and comfort level. The therapist and client make decisions together about which methods to try and how quickly to move from skill practice to deeper work.

Session logistics vary by practice, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and maintain continuity when schedules change. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed or phone options when bandwidth or video is difficult. Talk with the therapist during the initial matching steps to decide which session arrangement will work best for everyday life.
