Background and approach
Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, trying new coping skills, and practicing ways to communicate more clearly. Her approach blends problem-solving with skill-building. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking.
Dialectical and mindfulness strategies are used when strong emotions make daily life hard. Motivational interviewing helps people who feel stuck find reasons to move forward. Nicole has 11 years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and LISW credentials.
She works with adults on concerns such as grief, sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, attachment and family-of-origin issues, and substance use struggles. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to the therapist's availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change feelings and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday problems. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming. DBT strategies can help with anger, intense mood swings, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adapts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls let you work face to face from a convenient location, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, and chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options provide flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or other commitments.
