Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Nicole uses evidence-informed methods that emphasize values, present-moment awareness, and practical change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take committed steps toward those values - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is practical and skill oriented, and can be effective for depression, panic, and many forms of anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a trusting therapeutic relationship so individuals feel supported while they explore identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nicole collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - Nicole provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow continuity during transitions, and increase accessibility for those who prefer remote sessions with a licensed professional.
