About Stacy
Stacy Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with nine years of experience. She focuses on patterns that keep people feeling stuck and helps them understand how past events shape present responses. Her work addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Stacy frames therapy around repeated patterns rather than isolated symptoms. She listens for the recurring feelings and situations that make life harder. Sessions involve talking through past experiences and current reactions to identify what keeps problems returning. She emphasizes learning why thoughts and behaviors exist before changing them.
Her approaches include Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These methods are used to help people name difficult emotions, improve connections, manage distressing thoughts, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Stacy has worked with clients across many settings and with varied life challenges, including adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and blended family concerns. She notes experience supporting people affected by cancer and by military-related stress. The goal is practical change grounded in understanding and repeated practice.
Sessions begin by identifying the problems a person wants to address and setting clear goals together. Stacy describes therapy as collaborative - clients help set the agenda and test new ways of coping between meetings. Progress is measured by reduced repetition of unhelpful patterns and clearer, more manageable responses to life stressors.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about identifying and naming strong emotions and changing how people respond to those feelings. It helps when relationship patterns and attachment needs are central to the concern. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to live more in line with personal values while tolerating uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and repetitive thought patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will collaborate with each person to pick which method or mix of methods fits their goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as new issues come up.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins, and can make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Talk with Stacy about practical needs like session length, frequency, and whether phone or video works better for short check-ins or longer conversations.
