About Vickie
Vickie Conner is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue. Her approach also includes work with LGBT issues, workplace stress, and young adult concerns.
Vickie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary framework. She pairs CBT with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people take small, concrete steps toward values-based goals. Mindfulness skills and Solution-Focused Therapy are woven in to teach practical tools that can be used day to day.
Sessions are structured and action-oriented. Clients can expect to notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try different responses, and practice new skills between meetings. Vickie describes change as a series of small moves rather than a single breakthrough.
Her background spans many care settings over a long career in social work. That experience informs straightforward strategies for coping with loss, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and substance-related struggles. She also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and end-of-life issues.
Vickie emphasizes psychological flexibility as a goal - the ability to shift thoughts and behaviors to match personal values. Her work aims to give people concrete skills, clearer choices, and a way to manage daily challenges more effectively.
How CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness work in online sessions
Vickie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, test new ways of responding, and set small behavioral experiments. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and guide actions that align with those values. ACT emphasizes willingness to experience difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Vickie collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That assessment happens early and is adjusted over time as goals change.
