Vicki Neal, LISW

Vicki Neal is an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) in Ohio with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, life changes, ADHD, and other challenges. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.

Vicki uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what matters most to them. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Her style is interactive and focused on practical next steps rather than long lectures.

In meetings she helps people identify values and workable actions. That might mean testing a small behavior change, practicing new ways of talking about a problem, or learning skills to manage anxiety and low mood. She emphasizes collaboration on a plan that fits daily life.

Vicki is attentive to how social context affects mental health, including issues faced by LGBTQ people and those from BIPOC backgrounds. She also has experience supporting people who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, or emotional abuse. This informs how she responds to fear, mistrust, and safety concerns.

She also works with concerns often seen in later life, caregiver stress, and blended family issues. Practical topics like communication problems, parenting strains, and moving through a separation are part of her caseload. Sessions are structured to help people take concrete steps forward.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session start the process. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
