About Vicki

Vicki Bauer brings more than three decades of experience as a licensed mental health counselor to people seeking practical, compassionate support for stress, anxiety, family strain, parenting challenges, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She integrates cognitive and behavioral ideas with life-skills coaching to help clients manage mood concerns, trauma and grief, sleep and anger problems, self-esteem difficulties, and workplace or career transitions. Vicki's practice also addresses neurodiversity-related needs including autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, and intellectual disability, along with family and communication issues that often accompany those diagnoses.

Her style blends client-centered listening with structured techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies to create plans tailored to each situation. Vicki has worked extensively with families and caregivers to reduce day-to-day stressors, improve coping, and build routines that support greater independence for loved ones.

Based in Florida, she offers multiple remote formats and accepts international clients, aiming to make therapeutic support more accessible for varied lifestyles and schedules.

Practical therapeutic approaches available online

Vicki uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, especially for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and stress management. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard while they develop skills and solutions. These approaches work well for managing family dynamics, coping with life changes, and building routines that support better daily functioning.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and practical needs, then adapt techniques from CBT, client-centered strategies, and mindfulness to create a personalized plan that feels workable and relevant.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for clients balancing work, caregiving, or varied schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while tailoring session style and frequency to what fits a client's life and therapeutic goals.
