Stacy Connor , LCSW

Stacy Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She approaches therapy as a way to recognize and shift the patterns that underlie recurring distress, focusing on the connections between past experiences and present-day reactions. Stacy emphasizes the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship and creates a space where clients can explore difficult feelings, traumatic memories, and personal struggles at a pace that feels manageable.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and matters relevant to LGBT and family dynamics. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment challenges, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and communication or commitment difficulties. Stacy draws on several clinical approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs, meeting clients where they are while helping them clarify goals and make meaningful changes.

Stacy views clients as experts in their own lives and partners with them to understand the reasons behind their thoughts and behaviors. Together she helps clients build a foundation for the changes they seek and supports progress toward greater wellbeing and resilience.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Stacy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. ACT supports people coping with anxiety, depression, and chronic stress by teaching skills for accepting experience and committing to valued steps forward.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy, trust, and communication. This approach can be useful for clients working through relationship challenges, abandonment wounds, adoption or foster care concerns, and attachment-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacy works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques from different models as appropriate so therapy stays practical and client-centered.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access support from home or work, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
