About Vicki Neal

Vicki Neal is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 4 years of clinical experience. LISW stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker, indicating professional licensure to provide independent social work services in her state.

She works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and fatherhood matters, trauma and abuse, ADHD, self-esteem and anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, commitment and communication difficulties, control issues, disaster-related coping, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hoarding, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness. Her practice also includes support for LGBT individuals and related concerns.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive, rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She emphasizes collaboration, helping people identify what will work best for them rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions. Clinical methods are drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to create individualized treatment plans tailored to each person's needs.
