About Vickie

Vickie Conner is a licensed social worker with 25 years of experience who aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental partner during hard times. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her tone is supportive and solution oriented, with an emphasis on small changes that can make a real difference.

Vickie holds a South Carolina Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) credential and a Georgia Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential, and she also holds a CSW credential.

Background and approach

She draws mainly from cognitive behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people move toward what matters to them. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques are woven into sessions to build everyday coping skills. Sessions emphasize clear, doable steps and skills clients can use between meetings.

Vickie uses a trauma-informed perspective and pays attention to how past events shape present reactions. She aims to boost psychological flexibility so people can respond differently when stress, anger, or grief arise. Her practice supports those dealing with addiction, workplace stress, caregiver strain, aging and geriatric questions, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues around self-worth and life purpose.

Vickie describes her work as collaborative; she helps clients set goals and tries to match methods to what each person needs. Vickie works with English-speaking clients from South Carolina and brings decades of hands-on experience to each session. She frames therapy as a step-by-step process and encourages starting with small, manageable changes.

Practical approaches you can use online

Vickie draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and take values-driven action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and shifting thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult feelings while committing to small steps that match what matters most to the person.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple ways to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These skills are presented in short exercises that can be practiced between sessions to improve coping with stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to individual needs and preferences rather than forcing a single technique.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit work into busy schedules, follow up between meetings, and practice skills in daily life. Vickie uses these options to keep therapy accessible and focused on practical change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
