Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Nicholas integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into his online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or mood difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness skills that can help with stress, emotional regulation, sleep problems, and improving attention to day-to-day experience.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support clients who are ambivalent about change. This approach emphasizes collaboration, exploring personal motivations, and strengthening commitment to goals in a nonjudgmental way. Together with the client, Nicholas evaluates which methods fit best and adapts the plan over time so therapy aligns with the individual’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, or other obligations and allow consistent therapeutic contact even when in-person meetings are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver goal-oriented therapy and ongoing support in ways that work with each client’s routine.
