About Vicki
Vicki Bauer is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 34 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and the pressures that come from caregiving or career change.
Bauer has extensive experience supporting people connected to intellectual disability and neurodiversity, including autism, Asperger syndrome, and ADHD. She also addresses family-origin issues, blended family difficulties, divorce and separation, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and problems that come with narcissistic dynamics.
Her work combines client-centered conversation with practical cognitive-behavioral tools. Sessions typically focus on concrete skills - behavior strategies, problem solving, and emotional regulation techniques that people can use day to day. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are also part of how she helps people manage reactivity and recurring patterns.
Bauer brings direct experience helping parents and siblings cope with the unique stressors of living with a family member who has special needs. She offers behavioral counseling for individuals alongside guidance and supports for caregivers and family members who carry much of the day-to-day load.
People meet her for help with anger that shows up at home or at work, for strategies to reduce impulsivity, and for ways to rebuild strained relationships. Her focus is on practical change and on skills people can try between sessions to ease pressure and improve everyday functioning.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative plan. It helps when someone needs space to explain what triggers their anger and what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change reactions. CBT is useful for reducing impulsive responses and for changing patterns that lead to frequent outbursts.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. This is a practical, step-by-step process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits can help people practice skills between sessions and integrate coping strategies into daily life.
