Stacy Connor, LCSW

Stacy Connor is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides therapy to people across North Carolina. With nine years of clinical experience, she centers her work on helping individuals feel more lovable, capable, and worthwhile. Stacy approaches therapy by looking beyond isolated symptoms to identify recurring patterns, chronic struggles, and the ways past experiences influence present life.

She creates a space to explore strong emotions and traumatic memories, guiding clients toward resolving the underlying issues that fuel ongoing distress. Building a collaborative therapeutic relationship is central to her practice - she sees clients as experts on their own lives and partners with them to set meaningful goals and make change that fits their values.

Stacy integrates several evidence-informed methods, selecting approaches to match each person’s needs rather than relying on one fixed model. Her focus areas include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBTQ issues, family and grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, along with related areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems. She offers flexible session options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support access to care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options with Stacy Connor

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone wants to live in line with what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that stem from early bonds and helps people build safer, more secure connections with others and themselves - it is often used for relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacy will work with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation or caregiving constraints, and maintain continuity of care when life shifts.
