Stacy Connor, LCSW

Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She combines nearly a decade of post-licensure experience with earlier years working across settings to help people feel more capable and worthwhile. Stacy focuses on understanding recurring patterns rather than only treating single symptoms. She values building a strong working relationship as the foundation for change.

Stacy uses talk therapy to look at how past events shape current thinking and behavior. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new ways of responding. Sessions move at a steady, practical pace and focus on goals the client wants to reach.

Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Stacy also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and blended family challenges.

Her approaches draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Stacy helps people apply these methods to clarify values, shift unhelpful thoughts and strengthen emotional connection to themselves and others.

People who reach out to Stacy can expect straightforward language, a calm presence, and therapy that centers their goals. She encourages clients to see themselves as the expert on their lives while offering guidance and tools to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult feelings arise. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which is helpful for anxiety, sleep issues, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now and can help with intimacy-related struggles, grief, and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy collaborates with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in over time and adjusts methods so therapy stays relevant and useful for daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is helpful. It can also let people choose meetings that suit their energy level, whether that means focused exercises one week or longer conversations another week.
