Approaches and Online Support for Healing and Recovery
Nicki uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past traumatic experiences are central to a person’s difficulties - it focuses on processing trauma in a paced and supportive way to reduce symptoms and improve coping. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens a person’s motivation to change, and it is especially helpful for substance use and other behavior changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicki works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining approaches as appropriate to support progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, support continuity of care across locations, and allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
