Stacy Connor, LCSW

Stacy Connor is an LCSW practicing in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She frames therapy around helping people feel lovable, capable, and worthwhile. Stacy emphasizes building a strong working relationship as the first step toward change.

She approaches problems by looking at patterns and recurring feelings rather than only focusing on one symptom. That means talking about how the past shows up in daily life now. Stacy works with strong emotions and difficult memories, and she makes space for clients to speak about painful events when they are ready.

Stacy uses several well-known approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods. These give practical ways to manage worry, depression, and relationship pain while also looking at how attachment and meaning influence choices.

Her background includes helping people facing trauma and abuse, grief, caregiver stress, and chronic health challenges. She also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, LGBT issues, and relationship or intimacy struggles. Stacy draws on varied settings experience to tailor work to each person’s life and goals.

Therapy with Stacy is collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps create clear goals. Sessions aim to reduce distress, clarify values, and build usable tools for everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or avoidance block things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns with practical tools and exercises for managing worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people repair patterns that harm intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and personal preferences. That way the plan reflects what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people join from different North Carolina locations while keeping regular weekly or biweekly appointments that support steady progress.
