Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Nichole often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. ACT helps people learn to notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward what matters most - useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and validation, creating space for self-exploration and strengthening self-esteem and relationships. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleeping difficulties, and similar concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Nichole collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time and encouraging client input in treatment planning.
Online therapy with Nichole is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and consistent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home or other locations, and continue work between sessions using tools and strategies adapted for remote formats. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to deliver many of the same therapeutic skills and interventions as in-person care.
