About Vicki
Vicki Bauer is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and the daily burdens of caregiving. She brings a calm, practical style to conversations and aims to make therapy feel useful from the first session. Many clients come for help with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, or mood concerns.
Vicki has 34 years of experience and works with adults facing life transitions and long-term stress.
Background and approach
Her background includes decades of supporting families who live with intellectual and developmental differences, including autism spectrum conditions and ADHD. She also has experience addressing anger, sleep problems, trauma and abuse, and issues tied to self-esteem and identity. That experience informs how she tailors plans to fit each person’s life and routines.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools. That means conversations start with what matters most to the client, then move to concrete steps and skills to lower anxiety, change unhelpful thoughts, and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce worry and improve focus.
Vicki also uses solution-focused strategies to help clients set short-term goals and track small wins. She balances skill-building with plain talk about expectations and setbacks. Her emphasis is on practical skills families and individuals can apply between sessions.
Vicki practices from Florida and offers multiple ways to connect. She works collaboratively to create plans that match a person’s values, routines, and real-world demands.
Approaches that guide online care
Vicki commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means the conversation begins with the client’s priorities and values, and the therapist listens to understand what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s needs, goals, and day-to-day life. The plan is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps you feel better and function more easily.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text is useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments.
