Stacy Leo , LISW-CP

Stacy Leo is a licensed social worker who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and relationship challenges. She practices from South Carolina and focuses on practical, person-focused care that aims to make daily life easier to handle.

She listens for what matters most and helps people name their goals. Sessions are straightforward and geared toward change that fits a person's life. Stacy uses tools that help with coping, communication, and rebuilding routines after loss or trauma.

With ten years of experience, she has worked with people facing depression, addiction, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, adoption and foster care questions, abandonment and attachment issues, and separation or divorce concerns.

Stacy combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address emotions, thoughts, and relationship patterns. She also draws on the Gottman Method for communication and Motivational Interviewing to support behavior change when needed.

Her sessions aim to reduce isolation and increase coping skills. People learn ways to handle triggers, improve communication, and take small steps toward lasting change. Stacy frames therapy as a practical collaboration focused on clear goals and steady progress.

How Stacy uses practical approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes they want to make in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for reducing anxiety, depression, and impulsive habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions shape relationships and communication, and it helps people express needs more clearly and repair connection.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stacy collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, strengths, and daily demands. She will try specific tools, check what is working, and adjust the plan together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or a day when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter updates, processing moments between sessions, or when typing helps people organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady momentum toward goals.
