Stacy Connor , LCSW

Stacy Connor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She centers her work on helping people understand persistent patterns, recurring feelings, and the ways past experiences influence present functioning. Stacy emphasizes building a collaborative therapeutic relationship and partners with clients to identify meaningful goals and practical steps toward greater wellbeing.

Her approach draws from a range of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-focused and somatic techniques, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused work. This variety allows Stacy to tailor care to each person’s needs, whether addressing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, or issues related to LGBT identity and family dynamics.

Stacy also works with concerns that often intersect with mental health, such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication and commitment struggles, body image, and blended family challenges. She invites clients to treat themselves as the experts on their own lives while using therapy to explore the reasons behind thoughts and behaviors and to create a foundation for lasting change. Stacy offers a thoughtful, steady presence for individuals navigating strong emotions, traumatic memories, and complex personal struggles, and she collaborates with each person to move toward practical, sustainable progress.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect with licensed professionals in the way that feels most comfortable, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules and to maintain consistency over time.

Licensed professionals use these remote formats to deliver the same evidence-informed approaches found in office-based work. If a different therapeutic fit is desired, clients typically have the option to switch therapists. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, effective path to addressing emotional and interpersonal concerns while accommodating the demands of everyday life.
