More about Vicki

  • 34 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor and Behavior Analyst providing supports and services in the Central Florida area for over 25 years. I have worked with parents and families of individuals with intellectual disabilities including autism, Aspberger's, ADHD, OCD, anger management, and other related disorders. My work includes behavioral counseling for affected individuals as well as counseling and supports for parents, siblings, and other family members living and coping with the unique stressors of living with special needs individuals.

The challenges of living with and parenting a special needs individual often leads to depression, relationship issues, family conflict, and anxiety. While working with you to teach your child or adult with disabilities to lead a more stable and independent life, I can help your family deal with the related struggles you face on a daily basis. My approach is warm and compassionate with a blend of cognitive and applied behavior therapies and life skills training and support.

I look forward to working with you to improve the quality of life for you and your family!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed March 2024

2023 was one of the worst years of my life and I needed support desperately to deal with medical trauma among other things so I turned to BetterHelp. Vicki has been so supportive and helpful during this really hard time. I can count on her to listen and give solid advice. While we may not always agree she is open to my thoughts and point of view and she opened my eyes to new opinions and perspectives. Her honesty and at times vulnerability are much appreciated. She is response on messages and other means of communication outside our sessions if needed. I have appreciated my sessions with Vicki so much and highly recommend her.

I've just started seeing Vicki and I can say she's made me feel at ease out of the gate. I've struggled with even taking to step to seek help and she makes me wish I started long ago. She's already got me thinking of things differently and I'm realizing how my childhood has and is having an effect on me. All in a positive way.

Came to Vicki for help with my ADHD—which I like most other therapists she actually understands. Vicki is a wonderful human being who listens without judging, troubleshoots without gaslighting, sincerely cares, laughs with you, and who is very easy to be real and honest with. Can’t thank her enough for the resources she pointed me to and the support she provided. Thanks, Vicki!
