About Stacy

Stacy Leo is a licensed social worker who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, concrete steps to reduce distress and improve daily life. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name their emotions and change unhelpful interaction patterns.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge thoughts that feed anxiety and low mood.

Background and approach

Stacy has ten years of experience as a LISW-CP in South Carolina. That background has included work with people coping with trauma, grief, addiction, and major life changes. She pays attention to practical needs like parenting strain, caregiver stress, and career transitions.

In sessions she aims to make things understandable and doable. Conversations move from what feels overwhelming to small experiments and new ways of responding. Communication skills and clearer boundaries often become central, especially when people report conflict, infidelity, or attachment issues.

Clients can expect a respectful, down-to-earth style. Stacy helps people sort through guilt, shame, anger, or impulsivity and build steadier routines. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness and goals.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify the feelings that drive repeated patterns in relationships and daily life. It aims to change how people respond to strong emotions so interactions feel safer and more connected. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, giving space to be heard and to set the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep symptoms going and introduces practical techniques to shift them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to choose what fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time, with input from the person in each session about what is and isn't helping.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and emotional nuance, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, do brief updates, or use shorter check-ins when a full session won't fit. These options give flexibility for different rhythms and practical needs.
