Stacy Connor, LCSW

Stacy Connor is an LCSW practicing in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She emphasizes helping people feel more lovable, capable, and worthwhile. Stacy approaches therapy as a way to address patterns that keep distress repeating, not just a list of problems to fix.

She values building a strong therapeutic relationship first. That connection guides how she and a client decide what to work on next. Stacy is comfortable talking through strong feelings, traumatic memories, and personal struggles in a straightforward way.

Sessions look at how past experiences shape present reactions. Stacy helps people understand the reasons behind thoughts and behaviors and then makes steps to change them. She uses practical methods to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address depression and grief.

Her work includes supporting people with relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and aging and geriatric issues. Stacy also attends to areas like abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, attachment issues, and body image concerns.

Stacy draws on several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She collaborates with clients to set goals and create steps that feel doable. To start, she asks questions about the person’s history and current struggles so sessions stay focused and practical.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and when worry or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms of depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship, intimacy, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That process may include combining techniques from different approaches listed above so sessions feel relevant and practical.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility around work or caregiving schedules. Licensed professionals can tailor activities and homework so progress continues between meetings.
