About Nicole
Nicole Reineri is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends practical skills with empathetic listening to help clients address life stressors and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
With a master’s degree in professional counseling from Lindenwood University and four years of clinical experience, she draws on a varied background that includes vocational rehabilitation, pain management, addiction treatment, and applied behavior analysis. This range of experience informs her approach to concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, and broader life transitions.
Her work emphasizes understanding each person’s unique history, patterns, and strengths rather than reducing difficulties to a single label. Nicole uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), client-centered strategies, and existential perspectives to help clients build coping skills, gain perspective, and pursue meaningful change.
She has also provided group and individual crisis support in school settings and taught introductory psychology at the college level. Nicole aims to collaborate with clients to identify goals and foster practical growth toward greater contentment and resilience.
She practices in Missouri and conducts sessions in English.
Using CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Nicole integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reshape unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to support values-based action and acceptance of difficult internal experiences, which often helps with stress, grief, and chronic emotional struggles. She also draws on client-centered principles to provide empathic, nonjudgmental support that prioritizes the client's perspective and goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals and adapts interventions over time so therapy remains relevant and practical for everyday life.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering scheduling flexibility and access from home or other locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other obligations, allowing licensed professionals and clients to focus on progress in ways that suit each person’s routine.
