More about Vicki

- 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!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Vicky is caring and thoughtful. Easy to talk to
Vicki is an a kind, understanding, wise therapist. Her insights coupled with her therapy provide meaningful interactions which always leave me with a better perspective than when our session started.
Vicky has helped me through several tough times in my life. I am extremely grateful for the support I have found in her.
Vicky is very professional and at the same time extremely relatable. I do not feel embarrassed or shy to talk about issues. She has helped me think about things in a different light and to move forward with my life.
Vicki is fabulous. She listens and really makes an effort to understand what I'm saying. I feel supported and confident in her feedback.
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 am very happy with Vicki as a therapist and would readily recommend her to anyone.
I am grateful for Vicky. She is calm, experienced, well reasoned and helps me regain perspective when I have lost mine. She also has a wicked sense of humor which I value. I highly recommend Vicky.
She is great at listening and providing accurate, meaningful feedback. She also has done a great job at making sure there are no barriers, making it easy to open up to her!
Great therapist that listens and helps me understand my emotions better.
She’s very caring and “gets” me. Highly recommend.
Vicki is patient, empathetic, funny and insightful. I appreciate her candid and frank discussion. She is reliable and consistent and a critical part of my wellness journey.
vicki is compassionate and very real. she’s a total gem.
Love my weekly chats with Vicki!
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.
I could not be any more pleased with my experience with Vicki Bauer.
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!
I love Vicki. She has done nothing but give me the best support through everything. Don’t know what I’d do without her!
Amazing! Vicki is Soo Soo good. I've seen a lot of counsellors on betterhelp, she stands out as two of the best counsellors. She listens so well, happy to share about herself and connect as human beings, checks in with me which I so appreciate. Feel fortunate to have came across her. Blessings to you Vicki!
An absolute 10/10. Highly recommend.
vicki is thoughtful and real and her depth of experience is matched by her humanity.
She’s a great woman and therapist
Fantastic therapist. Genuinely look forward to talking with her every week. Offers a lot of good insights and tips
Vicki is a great listener and really let's you steer the conversation and focus on what you want to focus on. She asks insightful questions and is always there if I send her a quick message. She's great at breaking down a situation, making things feel light, and looking at problems from multiple angles. I would definitely recommend Vicki.
Vicki is wonderful. She takes the time to really listen and she asks questions to make sure she understands what I'm going through. This is the first time in therapy that I've felt truly supported.
Vicki is great! She listens and is just overall great. She saw things I didn't realise and was a great help!
Great listener, provides helpful advice. We laugh, which I appreciate, since it lightens the mood of more serious chats.
I 10/10 recommend Vicki as she is a very talented and reliable therapist. She made me feel better whenever we talked and I enjoyed all of our sessions.
