About Vickie
Vickie Conner welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes and take small steps toward clearer goals. Vickie is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice privileges - LISW-CP - and holds LCSW and CSW credentials.
She has 25 years of experience and uses that background to guide practical, everyday solutions.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on helping people notice what matters most and move toward it. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients accept difficult feelings while working on meaningful action.
Vickie also brings in mindfulness exercises and solution-focused strategies for quick, usable tools. Sessions are often about making one or two small changes that add up. Conversations focus on skills you can use at home, at work, or during a hard moment.
She pays attention to how stress, caregiving, aging, workplace pressure, and substance concerns affect daily life. Over a long career she has supported people facing addiction, grief, anger, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career questions. She also works with concerns like caregiver strain, end-of-life planning, forgiveness, and finding life purpose.
Vickie describes her work as collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on building skills clients can use right away. Her practice is based in South Carolina and sessions are offered in English. Vickie views therapy as a partnership where small changes help create a more meaningful life.
Therapeutic Tools and Online Care
Vickie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that lead to unwanted feelings and actions, then practices small changes to shift responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients accept uncomfortable emotions while taking steps toward a values-driven life. Mindfulness Therapy provides simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust based on progress and feedback so the plan fits real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well when movement or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to use tools learned in sessions between meetings.
