She began studying theater at the age of six, and appeared in a number of school plays over the following years. After booking a small part in an independent short film in 2009, she won her breakthrough role in the 2011 feature The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom, for which she received a Young Artist Award. Stone was subsequently cast in the pilot episode of the CW series Emily Owens, M.D.; the third season of AMC's The Killing; and a number of Canadian-produced independent films.
In addition to her Young Artist Award, she has received several other film accolades. For her role in the feature Wet Bum, Stone was named a Toronto International Film Festival Rising Star in 2014, won the Leo Award in 2015, and was nominated for a Vancouver Film Critics Circle Award. Her performance in the 2016 film The Unseen earned her an additional nomination from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle. In 2019, she won a second Leo Award for her work in the dramatic film Honey Bee.
Stone has won praise for her use of silence and facial expressions on-screen. In a review, RogerEbert.com noted that viewers could gauge the mood of a scene merely by watching Stone. In 2016, she was cast as Dana Copeland in the disaster series Aftermath. She later played the role of Eva, opposite Evan Rachel Wood, in the 2017 dramatic film Allure.
