About Stacy

Stacy Connor is an LCSW practicing in North Carolina who aims to help people feel lovable, capable, and worthwhile. She describes psychotherapy as a way to look at patterns and recurring feelings rather than only fixing single problems. Stacy invites clients to explore how the past shapes the present so they can move toward healthier daily life.

She brings nine years of clinical experience as an LCSW and additional prior work with children and adults across many settings. Stacy is comfortable sitting with strong emotions and traumatic memories. Building a trusting relationship is central to how she works together with clients.

Therapy sessions focus on understanding why thoughts and behaviors happen, and then using that knowledge to set practical goals. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide that work. Clients can expect conversations that look at feelings, habits, and real-life situations.

Stacy lists a broad range of concerns she addresses, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and concerns related to adoption and foster care. She also supports issues like caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration. Stacy treats each person as the best expert on their own life and helps them translate insight into concrete steps. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing values-based actions. It can help when worry, avoidance, or stuck patterns get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses, which can be useful for handling strong feelings and improving emotional connection.

Picking the right approach is often 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 over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. Because the specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter session when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT exercises to remote sessions so that people can continue focused, goal-oriented therapy even when in-person meetings are not possible.
