About Nicole

Nicole Pyfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado who brings five years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, and major life transitions, drawing on training in clinical mental health counseling and a foundation in criminal justice. Her background informs a focus on how patterns formed in childhood continue to influence behavior and emotions in adulthood.

Nicole uses a systems perspective to explore relational dynamics and recurring habits, offering a compassionate, individualized approach. She has considerable experience supporting survivors of trauma as well as adults who have caused harm, and she works to help clients identify and shift negative self-beliefs toward more realistic, affirming perspectives.

Sessions and treatment plans are tailored to each person’s circumstances, and she emphasizes respect and collaboration as clients pursue greater well-being.

Approaches that shape online therapy

Nicole integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their values and decide what changes feel right.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relational patterns and attachment experiences are central concerns, helping people name and process emotions to improve connection and emotional regulation. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and how each method might fit the presenting issues, then adapt techniques as therapy progresses.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexible ways to engage in therapy while balancing day-to-day responsibilities. These formats allow sessions to fit varied schedules and communication styles so that licensed professionals can meet clients where they are and tailor support to individual needs.
