Vicki Bauer, LMHC

Vicki Bauer is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 34 years of experience supporting individuals and families. She works extensively with people affected by intellectual and developmental differences, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and with concerns such as ADHD, OCD, anger management, and related challenges. Her practice combines therapeutic counseling for the person with the disability and practical supports for parents, siblings, and other family members who cope with the ongoing stressors of caregiving and family life.

Vicki recognizes that living with or parenting a person who has special needs can contribute to depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and family conflict. She pairs clinical approaches with life-skills training to help the person with disabilities develop greater stability and independence while teaching family members tools to manage daily pressures and improve household functioning. Her clinical style is warm and compassionate and draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused strategies, with an emphasis on behavior-informed interventions and practical problem solving.

Throughout her career Vicki has provided behavioral counseling for affected individuals as well as guidance and supports for families navigating complex care needs. She focuses on improving quality of life for both the person receiving services and the family system that surrounds them, bringing experience and a steady, supportive approach to therapy.
