About Nicole
Nicole's approach is informed by the ideas of Thomas Szasz as described in The Healing Word - Its Past, Present, and Future, emphasizing the central importance of the therapeutic relationship and the mutual responsibility of both client and therapist. She views therapy as a shared process of self-examination designed to help individuals choose greater freedom and responsibility in their lives. In sessions she aims to engage clients as equal participants, supporting them to explore change without positioning the therapist as an all-powerful expert.
She holds the LPCC credential, which identifies her as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor qualified to provide clinical counseling and therapy. Nicole brings a practical, relationship-based stance to work with issues such as grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood and anxiety disorders, family and intimacy concerns, parenting and workplace issues, and other life transitions.
Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding the impact of traumatic experiences and building specific strategies to process those memories and reduce their ongoing effects. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and complex trauma reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then develop practical skills to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps the client explore values, choices, and personal growth, making it useful across a wide range of emotional and relational issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicole will work collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration may include combining techniques from different approaches to best support progress.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options allow ongoing work between sessions and can accommodate varying comfort levels with different forms of communication while maintaining the professional support of licensed professionals and therapists.
