About Vicki
Vicki Bauer is a Florida LMHC with 34 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and family problems including blended family issues. Vicki also lists support for trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
She has a long history of working with families touched by intellectual disability and autism spectrum conditions. That work included behavior-focused counseling for the person with special needs and practical supports for parents, siblings, and other family members living with those stresses. This background informs how she talks about routines, boundaries, and daily caregiving demands.
Vicki combines client-centered conversation with cognitive-behavioral tools and applied behavior ideas. She uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people identify specific steps to try. Sessions often include concrete strategies for communication, managing impulsivity, and reducing conflict around household roles.
Parents and stepparents in blended households may find practical help for merging routines, setting limits, and handling loyalty or co-parenting tensions. She can talk through ways to balance caregiving responsibilities and reduce the overwhelm that comes with complex family arrangements.
Her work is straightforward and action-oriented. People can expect clear suggestions, homework-style tasks when useful, and ongoing adjustments based on what actually helps. Vicki accepts international clients and conducts sessions from her Florida practice.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Vicki uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s experience and what matters most to them. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around the client’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood issues, and practical problems at home. Mindfulness therapy is offered to help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation by teaching brief attention and breathing practices.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Vicki will talk with the client about goals and try approaches that fit those goals and the person’s preferences. She adjusts methods based on what proves helpful in real life rather than sticking to a single technique.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and caregiving duties, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to try a technique in the moment at home and then review it with their therapist, which helps make practical changes in everyday routines.
