Vickie Conner, LISW-CP, LCSW, CSW

Vickie Conner is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) who brings 25 years of experience to short- and long-term concerns. She aims to be a calm, nonjudgmental partner for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, relationship strain, caregiver stress, and aging-related challenges. Her style focuses on practical steps that can make daily life easier and more meaningful.

Vickie bases her work in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people take action toward values-based living. She also uses Solution-Focused techniques and mindfulness skills to build tools clients can use right away. Her approach is trauma informed and geared toward small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Clients can expect sessions that look at current problems and identify clear next steps. Vickie focuses on what is doable between meetings so gains carry into everyday routines. She often frames goals around improving coping, communication, and emotional balance when life becomes overwhelming.

Her background includes broad clinical experience across stress-related concerns, caregiving and hospice issues, workplace strain, and challenges tied to aging and geriatric issues. Vickie emphasizes practical exercises, simple mindfulness practices, and thought restructuring to reduce unhelpful patterns.

She describes therapy as a collaborative journey and works to match tools to each person’s needs. Small changes are in focus, with attention to building resilience and clearer direction for the future.

How these approaches work in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when strong feelings are present. It is useful for stress, life changes, grief, and issues tied to aging. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused strategies fits their goals and preferences. Choices are revisited as needs change so care stays relevant and practical.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and it lets clients practice skills in their usual routines. Some formats can be shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when video is not needed, which can save time and reduce tech demands. Overall, online sessions can support consistent progress while matching therapy to everyday life.
