Vickie Conner

Vickie Conner is a Licensed Independent Social Worker by clinical practice (LISW-CP) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years in counseling. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, career questions, and life changes. Her style is steady and nonjudgmental and she aims to be a partner as people take the next steps forward.

Vickie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different approaches. She adds solution-focused techniques and mindfulness skills so clients leave with clear strategies to use day to day. Her work follows a trauma-informed framework and often starts with one or two small changes that build momentum.

Her background spans community and clinical settings over a long career, giving her experience with addictions, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and workplace issues. She also supports people facing guilt, forgiveness work, and finding life purpose. Her approach aims to increase psychological flexibility so people can move toward a life that matters to them.

Sessions are offered in English and she practices in South Carolina. Vickie frames therapy as a collaborative effort and focuses on helping people develop skills they can use after sessions end. She combines direct, practical techniques with mindfulness to make change feel manageable.

Her practice emphasizes respect, steady guidance, and realistic steps toward goals. Vickie says small, consistent changes often lead to lasting improvements, and she centers each plan on the person in front of her.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness can fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small, committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, life transitions, and finding purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which supports coping with stress and anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and allow practicing mindfulness or behavioral tasks in real-life settings between visits. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises and tools so sessions translate to daily life and career demands without promising specific outcomes.
