About Stacy

Stacy Leo is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping adults manage stress, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She holds the LISW-CP credential and practices in South Carolina. Stacy aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

She uses a calm, person-centered stance in sessions. That means she listens closely and helps clients name what matters most to them. Conversations focus on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, grief, addiction concerns, and coping with major changes.

Background and approach

Stacy also works with people recovering from trauma and abuse. She helps clients notice patterns that keep causing pain and then try different ways of responding. Sessions mix skill-building and reflection so people can practice new habits between meetings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are part of her approach. That helps with managing moods, impulsivity, and anxiety by changing thoughts and behaviors in daily life. Elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing help people strengthen bonds and find inner motivation to change.

Her style is direct but kind. She aims to help clients leave sessions with something they can try that week. Stacy has worked in the field for about 10 years and keeps the focus on practical steps toward better functioning.

She offers video, phone, chat, and text-based options to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and she works with adults across South Carolina.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Stacy blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people make concrete changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and understood, helping clients clarify goals and decide what matters. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, mood, and impulsivity.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns or intense emotional responses are central. EFT helps people identify and shift the emotions that keep repeating, which can improve communication and connection. Together these approaches are used flexibly so the therapist and client can find the best fit based on needs and preferences through collaborative discussion.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into real life. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and exercises. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching between sessions, and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options let adults in South Carolina access consistent care while balancing work, caregiving, and other commitments.
