About Stacy
Stacy Leo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She offers straightforward support for relationship pain, grief, addiction concerns, and the day-to-day strain of caregiving or parenting. Stacy keeps sessions focused and practical so people can make steady progress.
She draws on methods that emphasize understanding emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. Conversations often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, naming emotions, and practicing new ways to talk and connect.
Background and approach
For relationship concerns she uses ideas from the Gottman Method alongside emotion-focused work to improve communication and rebuild trust. Stacy brings ten years of experience as an LISW-CP, licensed in South Carolina. That background informs how she assesses stress reactions, trauma responses, and burnout.
She pays attention to attachment needs, abandonment wounds, and the ways past losses affect present choices. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Early meetings focus on what matters most right now and on small steps that fit real life.
Stacy uses motivational interviewing to support stuck moments and narrative therapy to help people reframe painful stories. People who come for help leave with clearer next steps. That might mean new ways to handle anger, revised routines to reduce overwhelm, or communication skills to prevent repeated conflicts.
Stacy aims to make therapy useful and doable for everyday life.

Online support
How Stacy’s approaches translate to online care
Stacy uses the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and rebuild trust, focusing on practical skills people can practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy guides the work by keeping the person’s goals and pace at the center, helping people feel heard and seen as they decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Stacy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt techniques for whatever is most important to the client at the time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people send quick updates, get prompts for homework, or have brief check-ins between full sessions. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving, and daily life.
