Vickie Swindling, LCSW — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Vickie!

Does your day get caught up in checking, rechecking, excessive handwashing, or thoughts that feel impossible to shake? Maybe things need to feel “just right” before you can move on. When OCD takes up your time and energy, life can start to feel smaller. Treatment can help you move toward the life you want.

My focus

Whether you’re facing OCD, managing anxiety, or struggling with depression, I help adults of all ages build practical skills, navigate challenges, and move toward the life they want.

My approach

I work with adults of all ages experiencing OCD, depression, and anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and agoraphobia. For OCD and anxiety disorders, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help you change how you respond to intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsive behaviors, and build confidence in facing uncertainty.

My communication style

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—with room for humor and the occasional goofy moment. You don’t have to have everything figured out or hide how you’re feeling. I offer a welcoming space where you can be yourself, feel understood, and work toward meaningful change.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own experience of seeking answers and facing challenges helped draw me to this work. I bring that curiosity and compassion to our sessions, along with a focus on your goals.

My goals for you

You’re here to make meaningful changes, and I’m here to help. Together, we’ll clarify what matters most to you, create a practical plan, and work toward your goals at a pace that challenges and supports you.

Our first session

Early on, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy, identify what you want to change, and develop a clear treatment plan together. As we go, we’ll make room for challenges, recognize progress, and adjust our approach to what you need.
