About Vicki
Vicki Bauer is a Florida LMHC with 34 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting and family challenges, ADHD, grief, trauma and related mood issues. She helps with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Bauer focuses on practical strategies families can use day to day. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to reduce upsetting thoughts and interrupt unhelpful habits. She also draws on solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and build small, manageable changes.
Her background includes long-term work with parents and family members of people with intellectual disability, autism and Asperger syndrome. That work involved behavior-oriented counseling for the person with disabilities and coaching and support for parents, siblings, and caregivers who manage related stressors.
In sessions she addresses the common ripple effects of caring for someone with special needs - depression, relationship strain, family conflict, anxiety, and fatigue. She helps parents and caregivers teach life skills and develop routines that promote more stable daily functioning for their family member.
Sessions are presented in straightforward language with concrete tools to try between meetings. She emphasizes clear goals, small experiments, and skill-building rather than abstract discussion. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while deciding on practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors and routines to find small experiments that change how someone feels and acts; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can support stress management and coping with difficult emotions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify priorities, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust plans based on what helps. Early sessions often focus on clear goals and simple behavior changes so progress is observable and measurable.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can still use worksheets, behavioral experiments and mindfulness exercises in remote sessions, making practical skills easy to apply between meetings.
