About Stacy

Stacy Connor is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in North Carolina with nine years of experience listed in the profile. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, depression, LGBT matters, family and grief. Stacy emphasizes looking at persistent patterns that shape current life rather than only isolated symptoms.

She frames therapy as a way to understand how past experiences influence present behavior. Sessions often involve talking through recurring feelings and roles learned in childhood, including family of origin patterns. Stacy works with strong emotions and painful memories when they come up, and she encourages clients to use their own knowledge about their lives as a starting point.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and test thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy helps examine how early relationships affect adult closeness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports choosing actions that match personal values. She also incorporates Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas when helpful.

Stacy has experience across healthcare and social service settings, including work with people affected by cancer, foster care and caregiving stress. She names specific focuses such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and caregiver strain among others. Sessions are conducted in English and serve adults in North Carolina.

Approaches used in online sessions

Stacy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions based on their values. ACT can be useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and build a life that matches what matters to them.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape patterns of closeness, roles, and conflict. This approach helps people understand why they respond a certain way in relationships and work on different ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will discuss methods and options with each person and decide together what fits the client’s needs and goals. That collaboration guides which tools and exercises are used in sessions.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shortening commute time, allowing a check-in during a break, or avoiding video if someone prefers audio only. Licensed professionals can blend conversation, skill practice, and homework tasks in remote sessions to address stress, family patterns, and other concerns without promising a particular format.
