Vickie Neapolitan, LCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, compassionate spaces for clients navigating diverse life challenges. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, addressing mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, and mood disorders, and helping clients explore self-esteem, communication, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I'm particularly passionate about working with clients experiencing social anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, and identity-related challenges. Whether you're struggling with isolation, seeking deeper self-understanding, or working through life transitions, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your experiences and develop meaningful strategies for healing and empowerment.

I have worked with Vickie for three years and she has truly impacted my life in such an amazing way! Her support, helpful curiosity, and authentic energy are such incredible traits that make therapy with her both comforting and growing. In the past, I often popped in and out of therapy with clinicians quickly but sticking with Vickie has lead to so much self-discovery, self-compassion, and growth toward my most meaningful life. I’m so grateful for her!

I worked with Vickie during a time when I felt really ungrounded with anxiety and troubled by past traumas and inner child wounds. After working with Vickie for around 9 months I feel far better equiped to prioritize my mental health and to work on my anxiety as it arises. I would definitely recommend working with her, thank you for your support, Vickie!
