Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Nicole draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s perspective and goals guide the work; this approach helps people who want a collaborative, empathetic environment to explore identity, relationships, and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used in skill-based ways to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy offers practical attention and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can be helpful for emotion regulation and coping with trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicole works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve. The collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what is most helpful for each person.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These formats allow clients to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from home or work, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
