Stacy Connor , LCSW

Stacy Connor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina who believes everyone deserves to feel lovable, capable, and worthwhile. She approaches psychotherapy by looking beyond single symptoms to the larger patterns and recurring feelings that shape a person’s life, inviting exploration of how past experiences influence present concerns. Stacy emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful change and works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and steps toward wellness.

Stacy is experienced in supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, grief, caregiver stress, and challenges related to ADHD and self-esteem. She is comfortable addressing strong emotions and difficult memories and has worked with a diverse range of people, including military-affiliated clients, individuals facing cancer, foster children, and medical social workers. Her practice honors each person as the expert on their own life while offering guidance to understand the reasons behind thoughts and behaviors.

Using an integrative approach, Stacy draws on methods that explore attachment patterns, present-moment choices, emotional connection, and cognitive habits to resolve longstanding concerns and support growth. Clients and therapist work together to understand needs, set practical goals, and create a pathway toward a more satisfying future.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most and take small, value-driven steps even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise. It is useful for stress, anxiety, avoidance, and for building a life aligned with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust; it can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and intimacy issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Stacy works collaboratively with each client to consider needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit the individual. Together they experiment with techniques and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, medical needs, or geographic limitations. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals and therapists in ways that fit their schedule and daily life, making consistent treatment more achievable and easier to integrate into routines.
