About Vicki
Vicki Bauer is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and the stress of everyday life. She focuses on practical strategies for anger, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and challenges that come with parenting or caregiving. Vicki brings 34 years of experience to each conversation and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.
She draws on client-centered methods to build a respectful, listening-first space. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try new behavior patterns that reduce anger and anxiety.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are offered to help people notice feelings without reacting immediately. Vicki also supports people dealing with family and relationship strains, grief, and life changes such as divorce or separation. She has a long history of working with issues tied to intellectual disability, autism and Asperger syndrome, ADHD, and mood or impulse-related problems.
Her work includes coaching parents and caregivers on practical skills and coping strategies. Sessions emphasize short-term, solution-focused steps when that approach fits the person’s goals. Vicki mixes skill teaching, behavior strategies, and conversational problem solving so clients can try tools between sessions.
She accepts international clients and works from Florida as a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC). The tone in sessions is warm and direct. Vicki aims to help people feel steadier, make clearer choices, and reduce the impact of anger or stress on daily life.

How her approaches fit online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. In online sessions this means time is spent reflecting back what a person says and helping them feel heard before moving to next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anger, anxiety, mood, and sleep by giving clear exercises to practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then recommend a combination of methods. That collaborative process allows the plan to shift as needs change and as certain techniques prove more helpful.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, coaching, and ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep practicing new skills regularly.
