Therapeutic approaches and online care
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that affect mood and daily functioning. This approach is practical and often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with everyday life.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a goal-directed method that concentrates on the present and future to build small, actionable steps toward specific outcomes. This approach supports clients who want focused, short-term work on clearly defined goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicole works collaboratively with each person to identify the techniques and pace that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will consider input from other licensed professionals or therapists when appropriate.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, or health needs and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
