About Stacy

Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker who brings nine years of experience to her practice in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people feel more capable, lovable, and worthwhile. Stacy guides clients through patterns that keep them stuck rather than treating only isolated symptoms.

She invites an honest look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behavior. Sessions tend to explore recurring themes like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma. Stacy says the relationship between therapist and client is the most important part of making progress.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She works with clients to set clear goals and to understand the thoughts and habits that maintain distress. This can include observing how avoidance, control issues, or communication patterns affect daily life.

Stacy has worked in a range of settings with people facing serious illness, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and military-related challenges. She is comfortable addressing strong emotions and difficult memories while helping clients build new ways of coping.

Therapy can also include attention to money and financial issues when these concerns affect stress, relationships, or self-esteem. Stacy helps people talk through financial worries as part of broader emotional work.

Sessions are conducted in English. People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with what matters to them. It often supports anxiety, stress, and motivation issues by focusing on values and committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and sessions often combine techniques from different approaches to meet real-world problems.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can be helpful for people juggling caregiving, work, or medical appointments while still working on stress, trauma, or relationship issues with a licensed professional.
