Vickie Conner

Vickie Conner believes, echoing Brene Brown, that courage begins with showing up and allowing oneself to be seen. She understands that asking for counseling is a brave step that often pulls a person beyond their comfort zone, and she emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental partnership to help navigate difficult times.

She is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in South Carolina with experience spanning 25 years. Her work centers on helping people address stress, anxiety, grief, anger management, self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and family conflicts, parenting challenges, career difficulties, depression, coaching needs, and compassion fatigue.

Her clinical approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support movement toward a meaningful life. She also uses Solution Focused Therapy and mindfulness skills and operates within a trauma-informed framework to help clients develop practical tools they can use day to day. Vickie often finds that one or two small changes can free a person to move toward the life they want.

She holds clinical social work licensure in both South Carolina and Georgia and remains committed to the process of change. Her work with clients continually reinforces her belief in human resiliency and the value of increasing psychological flexibility. She loves the work she does.
