About Nicole
Nicole Cheleotis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She has eight years of experience supporting adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. Nicole focuses on practical skills and steady progress so people can feel more in control of daily life.
She centers sessions on listening first and building trust. Nicole aims to create an accepting space where people can say what they are feeling and thinking without judgment.
Background and approach
She works closely with each person to set manageable goals and steps toward change. Nicole uses a range of approaches tailored to the person’s needs. She draws on client-centered work to keep sessions collaborative, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to reduce stress.
She also incorporates narrative and trauma-focused ideas when those fit the concern. Many people seek her help for parenting strain, relationship tension, or grief after loss. She also supports those dealing with mood disorders, trauma, identity questions including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns, and caregiver stress.
Nicole pays attention to how attachment and adoption or foster-care histories can affect current patterns. Sessions aim to teach usable coping tools, improve communication, and reduce overwhelm. Nicole invites people to try small changes between sessions and review what works.
Her style is steady, collaborative, and focused on practical progress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps clarify goals so sessions feel like a team effort. This approach works well for stress, parenting strain, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Nicole uses CBT techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. This is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood challenges.
EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, helps process difficult memories and trauma. In practice it involves careful pacing, recalling distressing material while using guided bilateral stimulation, and building coping skills around the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and recommend methods that match goals, needs, and comfort. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues matter and for longer therapy sessions. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text sessions allow shorter check-ins and flexible timing. These options make therapy more accessible across busy schedules and different day-to-day needs.
