About Nicole
Nicole views each person as the expert on their life. She focuses on practical skills first. Sessions involve setting small goals, practicing new ways to respond to stress, and building confidence through repeatable steps. She emphasizes collaboration and respect for the client’s pace.
Over 11 years of practice, Nicole has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and mood challenges including bipolar disorder. She also supports clients navigating parenting strain, sleep problems, and ADHD-related struggles. Her additional work touches on adoption and foster care, attachment and family-of-origin themes, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.
Her clinical methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness-based tools, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Nicole blends those approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She centers skills that can be used outside sessions to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Nicole holds LCSW and LISW credentials and is based in Ohio. She conducts sessions in English and does not work with international clients. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

Step 3
How her methods translate to online work
Nicole frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear patterns and then targets small changes that lead to different outcomes.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style tools teach concrete ways to manage intense feelings and improve how someone responds in difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicole collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay focused and useful.
Check the session options before booking so you know what formats are currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can cut commuting time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone keep consistent care during schedule changes. Licensed professionals can still teach the same CBT and DBT skills through remote sessions, helping people practice techniques between meetings and track progress over time.
