About Vickie

Vickie Conner is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years in counseling practice in South Carolina. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship concerns, career issues, and life transitions. Her work also addresses caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and workplace or communication problems.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients take small, practical steps that align with their values. Mindfulness skills and Solution-Focused Therapy are woven into sessions to build everyday coping tools. Vickie describes her approach as collaborative and action-oriented, with attention to trauma-informed care.

Sessions often focus on concrete skills people can use between meetings. That might mean learning ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, practicing brief mindfulness, or setting a small behavioral goal. Vickie emphasizes psychological flexibility - being able to respond differently when old patterns show up.

She also works with issues around addiction, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes many years helping adults manage grief, parenting stresses, and transitions into later life. Vickie notes how often a single small change can make daily life feel more manageable.

People who prefer clear, practical steps and help translating insight into action often find this style useful. The focus is on short-term strategies and skills that support longer-term change.

How sessions work

How her methods translate to online work

Vickie commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anger, anxiety, and mood difficulties. ACT emphasizes values and small committed actions, helping people reduce getting stuck in reactive patterns and move toward what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust what you try based on what helps and what feels doable in daily life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, or choose quieter surroundings when possible. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion without promising a particular format.
