About Stacy
Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of clinical experience in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people feel more capable, worthwhile, and connected. Stacy centers the relationship first and works with strong feelings and difficult memories in a calm, steady way.
She approaches therapy by looking at patterns that keep problems repeating instead of only treating single symptoms. Stacy talks through how past experiences shape current reactions and helps people understand why they do what they do.
Background and approach
This can make daily stress, anxiety, and low mood easier to manage. Sessions blend body-focused awareness with practical skills. Somatic methods help people notice physical responses to stress, while cognitive and acceptance techniques offer tools for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Attachment-informed work looks at how relationships affect emotion and trust. Stacy supports people facing grief, caregiving strain, chronic illness, trauma, and issues around intimacy and identity. She also works with concerns like ADHD, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem.
The approach is collaborative: the client’s experience guides the pace and focus. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Stacy asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and then schedules sessions based on availability.
The aim is steady progress toward clearer choices and a more manageable daily life.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Somatic work helps people notice how stress and strong feelings show up in the body. It teaches simple ways to track sensations and shift physical tension that keeps emotions stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values while making space for painful thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape trust and emotional patterns, and it helps people build safer ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy treats therapy as a collaboration and will help decide which combination of methods fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques based on what the client finds most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These formats make it easier to keep regular contact when schedules are busy, or when in-person visits are hard. They also allow clients to practice skills in their everyday environment and to check in between sessions in ways that suit their life.
