About Stacy

Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people feel more lovable, capable, and worthwhile. Stacy emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.

She prefers to look at patterns that keep problems recurring instead of only treating single symptoms. That means talking about how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviors. Stacy often works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges related to ADHD and self-esteem.

Her approach draws on several well-known therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused methods. She uses these to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, strengthen relationships, and live more in line with their values. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at small, manageable steps.

Stacy also has experience supporting people dealing with compassion fatigue, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, cancer-related issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and body-image or identity questions. She has worked in a range of settings with diverse populations across North Carolina.

Stacy invites each person to be an active partner in therapy. Together they clarify goals and try new ways of responding to old patterns. This practical, down-to-earth focus guides her work toward clearer choices and gradual change.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worry or avoidance. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current bonds and emotion patterns, which helps when intimacy or trust issues cause repeated problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That choice may shift as therapy progresses, and she encourages checking in about what feels useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, help people maintain continuity of care across distances, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches translate well to conversation-based sessions and at-home practice, such as ACT exercises and attachment-focused reflection, while others adapt into structured skill work you can try between meetings. Confirm the available online formats and scheduling details before making an appointment.
