Evidence-based approaches for online support
Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and parenting-related stress. It gives practical steps and homework that people can try between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. These skills can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained. Mindfulness practices are layered in to help people notice thoughts and calm their nervous system in everyday moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to choose tools and methods that fit the person's goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while chat or text can be useful for shorter check-ins or when a person prefers written reflection. These options support flexibility so therapy can be scheduled around work, childcare, or other commitments.
