About Stacy
Stacy Leo is a licensed social worker in South Carolina who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use at home. Stacy uses straightforward language so parents can understand options quickly and decide what feels right for their family life.
In sessions she focuses on clear communication skills and problem solving. She draws from client-centered methods to listen closely, and from cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method inform her work around relationship patterns and improving emotional connection. Stacy also attends to trauma, grief, and addiction concerns with a calm and steady approach. She supports people coping with major life changes, caregiver stress, and attachment questions.
Her background includes ten years of practice as a South Carolina LISW-CP, which guides her clinical judgment and planning. Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances emotional understanding with concrete tools. Stacy helps people set realistic goals, try new strategies between sessions, and notice small changes that add up.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Sessions are conducted in English and are not offered to international clients. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building rapport so clients feel heard and understood; it helps people clarify goals and make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy zeroes in on emotional patterns in close relationships and can help people improve connection and reduce recurrent conflict.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that fit your situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can make it easier to attend regularly. Video calls let you use visual cues for relationship work and emotion-focused tasks. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in on a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging can support short updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into daily life while using therapeutic techniques suited to your needs.
