About Nicole
Nicole Woolery is an independently licensed social worker in Ohio. She brings 14 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, grieving, or stuck. Parents find her practical and straightforward when parenting stress or family conflict feels heavy.
Nicole uses simple, goal-focused conversations to spot what is and isn't working. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach small skills you can use right away.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are mixed in to help people get clear about values and next steps. Her background includes work in schools, hospitals, community settings, and independent practice. Early in her career she supported at-risk children and families, then expanded into adult hospital care, psychosocial assessment, and group work.
She has helped people facing trauma, loss, mood concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are collaborative and strength-based. Nicole helps people identify practical strategies, practice new responses, and set realistic goals.
She can also incorporate a Christian-based perspective when that fits a person's needs and preferences. Nicole aims to empower people to make changes that matter to them. She focuses on usable tools, clear explanations, and steady support while people work through parenting stress, relationship tension, career shifts, or mental health challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on making room for hard feelings while acting in ways that match your priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and patterns into smaller parts and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behaviors.Navigating which approach will help most is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps you make steady progress. Your preferences and life demands guide the choice of techniques and pace.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, or other busy days while focusing on clear, usable tools.
