About Nicole
Nicole Kaufman is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and life coaching needs.
Background and approach
She draws on a range of psychotherapeutic methods to help clients sort through difficult relationship dynamics, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and other challenges such as commitment issues, jealousy, or family-of-origin concerns. With five years of clinical experience, Nicole combines practical skill-building with reflective work to support clearer thinking and improved daily functioning.
Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practices and other evidence-informed methods to address both immediate problems and longer-standing patterns. Clients can expect collaborative sessions aimed at identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building coping strategies, and clarifying goals related to divorce and separation, infidelity, communication problems, and midlife transitions.
Nicole holds the credentials LMHC and LCMHC and maintains licensure details as FL LMHC MH22672 and NC LCMHC 12459, practicing primarily with English-speaking adults in Florida.
CBT, Mindfulness, and Collaborative Online Care
Nicole frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and relationship stress; this approach emphasizes practical strategies and skill development. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is another part of her toolkit, offering a client-centered way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicole works collaboratively with each person to tailor care based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to help clients weigh options, set realistic targets, and decide which methods feel most helpful as work progresses.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy with her provides flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to continue work between meetings with messages or brief check-ins, supporting continuity and steady progress.
