About Vicki

Vicki Bauer is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a longstanding practice in Florida, bringing 34 years of clinical experience to people seeking help with stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, mood concerns, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a compassionate, client-focused stance to support individuals and families navigating depression, anger, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, and the day-to-day impacts of caregiving and family conflict. Her work blends practical skills training with cognitive and behavioral methods to address both symptom relief and functional improvements.

Vicki has extensive experience assisting families and caregivers of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and addresses issues such as impulsivity, communication difficulties, codependency, and blended family dynamics. She also offers coaching-style support for career questions, life transitions, and coping with loss.

Vicki’s practice emphasizes collaboration and clear, teachable strategies that clients can use between sessions. With a background in behavioral counseling and family supports, she helps clients build routines, improve relationships, and develop tools to manage emotions and everyday stressors.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Vicki uses client-centered work to create a respectful, collaborative environment where the person's priorities guide each session. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and tailoring interventions to the individual's values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and managing impulsivity. Mindfulness techniques are also incorporated to help clients develop present-moment awareness, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to explore which strategies feel most useful, adapt techniques to daily routines, and adjust the plan as goals and needs evolve. Clients participate in setting priorities and selecting evidence-informed practices that fit their life circumstances.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and receive timely coaching and support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
