About Nicole

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting people through depression, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and the aftereffects of sexual assault and abuse.
She also addresses relational issues such as commitment concerns, codependency, blended family stress, and intimacy-related difficulties. People work with Nicole to develop tools for managing anger, improving self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She helps clients practice new behaviors between sessions and track small progress over time.
The aim is to build skills that make daily life easier. Therapy with Nicole is collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and partners with them to set goals.

Approaches Nicole lists

How these approaches work online
Nicole commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and mood regulation because it focuses on practical steps and measurable changes.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style tools help when emotions feel overwhelming or when behavior patterns cause relationship strain. Internal Family Systems work looks at different parts of a person and how they relate to one another, which can be helpful for trauma, dissociation, and complex emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they test methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and teaching new skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit therapy into busy days.
