Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Nicole Palubniak

Nicole Palubniak draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and suits people coping with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change patterns.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; DBT can be particularly helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing reactive behaviors.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting emotional balance and improved focus.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors interventions from these methods to create a treatment plan that feels fitting and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access support in ways that feel most comfortable for each person. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective, evidence-informed care that aligns with clients' lives.
