About Nicole

Nicole Cheleotis is a licensed counselor who brings eight years of clinical experience to her Florida practice. As an LPC and LMHC she focuses on helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, major life transitions, and stress using evidence-informed methods.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, mood and panic disorders, and issues such as compassion fatigue, gender dysphoria, and identity-related stress. Nicole emphasizes a collaborative, strength-based process in which clients and therapist form a working partnership.

She creates an accepting atmosphere where people can explore emotions and thoughts while learning practical skills. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral strategies, trauma-focused tools such as EMDR, mindfulness practices, and narrative techniques to support people coping with loss, caregiving strain, attachment or adoption-related concerns, and difficulties with communication, control, or isolation.

In sessions she tailors interventions to the presenting problem and the client’s preferences, aiming to build clarity and useful coping skills. Nicole works with adults in Florida and conducts sessions in English, offering a range of online formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Nicole integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered principles to address presenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related difficulties through practical skill building. EMDR offers a trauma-focused protocol designed to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact using structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to assess goals, preferences, and the nature of the presenting issue, then tailors techniques from CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or narrative methods to fit the person’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more flexible. These options allow individuals to access licensed professionals from home or other locations, fit therapy around busy schedules, and continue consistent care when in-person visits are difficult. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and practical constraints while maintaining a focus on clinical goals and skill development.
