About Stacy

Stacy Leo is a licensed social worker offering supportive, evidence-informed therapy for adults facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

With 10 years of clinical experience and the SC LISW-CP 11801 credential, she helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and the everyday effects of trauma and relationship difficulties. Stacy also works with clients contending with parenting stress, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.

Her style blends client-centered listening with practical, skills-based interventions. Stacy uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build coping skills, and she draws on emotionally-focused and relational methods for communication and attachment concerns.

Motivational interviewing and narrative approaches inform her work with ambivalence, recovery, and personal meaning-making. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can clarify goals, increase resilience, and make steady progress.

Stacy practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative process that balances empathy with concrete strategies tailored to each person's needs and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Stacy commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills for coping and behavior change, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships, helping clients address attachment concerns, communication problems, and relational pain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacy works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then recommends strategies or combinations of methods that best fit those needs. She emphasizes partnership in therapy so that interventions are both meaningful and manageable for each person.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling clients to engage in therapy from different settings and at convenient times. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent work on skills, attend sessions during busy schedules, and access support while navigating life changes.
