Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Nicole commonly draws on attachment-based work to explore how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns; this approach helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment, or connection issues recognize and shift long-standing dynamics. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can define their goals and move at a comfortable pace while feeling understood. Additionally, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or panic attacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicole partners with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual at each stage of treatment.
Online therapy with Nicole is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage responsibilities like work or parenting, and access therapy from distant locations, including internationally.
