About Nicole

Background and approach
With 16 years of clinical experience, she blends practical skill-building with a collaborative therapeutic relationship, focusing on clients' strengths while addressing difficult patterns like codependency, domestic violence, substance use, infidelity, and self-harm. Nicole values a teaching-oriented style and often incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside emotionally-focused interventions and solution-focused strategies.
She enjoys working with couples and families, drawing on a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and long experience in community mental health settings. Her approach emphasizes clear, practical tools that clients can use between sessions while tailoring treatment plans to individual needs and goals.
Clients working with Nicole can expect a warm, connection-centered clinician who combines evidence-informed methods with motivational techniques to foster change. She aims to help people build resilience, improve relationships, and move toward a more meaningful life purpose while addressing guilt, shame, and other barriers to growth.
Approaches for Relationship and Emotional Change Online
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. EFT centers on attachment and emotional bonds, helping couples and family members understand and shift interaction patterns to create more stable connections and address intimacy-related issues.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Nicole discusses your concerns, goals, and preferences and helps select or combine methods that fit your situation, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and new needs arise.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to connect from their preferred locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals tailor the format to the therapeutic work, whether that means skill-focused CBT exercises over video or brief check-ins through messaging to reinforce progress.
