Vickie Conner , LISW-CP, LCSW, CSW

Echoing Brene Brown's idea that courage begins with showing up and being seen, Vickie Conner understands that reaching out for counseling often requires stepping beyond familiar boundaries. She centers her practice on offering a supportive, nonjudgmental partnership to guide people through challenging times and to help them find practical steps forward.

Vickie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience in the counseling field. She holds the credentials LISW-CP, LCSW, and CSW, which reflect her clinical training and licensure in social work. Her primary goal is to collaborate with clients to provide timely support tailored to the present difficulties they face.

Her work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to encourage movement toward a meaningful life. She also weaves in Solution-Focused techniques and Mindfulness skills to help people resolve issues efficiently and build tools for daily living, all within a trauma-informed framework. Vickie believes that sometimes one or two small changes can open a path toward the life someone wants to lead, and her practice emphasizes psychological flexibility, resilience, and the steady pursuit of meaningful goals.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online support

Vickie Conner uses evidence-based methods to help people address immediate concerns and build long-term skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, or depression, making it useful for symptom relief and practical problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed actions toward a meaningful life while developing greater psychological flexibility. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and ongoing life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vickie works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt methods over time to match what is most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel needs, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care, allowing people to access support in ways that fit their daily lives.
