About Nichole
Nichole Proulx is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Maine. She brings 13 years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Nichole works with adults facing life transitions, grief, trauma, and issues like ADHD, substance concerns, and low self-esteem.
She favors a person-centered style that treats clients as the experts on their own lives. That means she listens first, then helps people use their strengths to meet goals.
Background and approach
Nichole blends practical skills and gentle challenge, using straightforward feedback and occasional humor. Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions often include skill practice, values clarification, and strategies to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions like anger.
Nichole has helped people navigate communication problems, attachment concerns, blended family issues, and separation or divorce. She also supports those coping with trauma, panic, personality or mood disorders, and compulsive behaviors. Her focus includes both short-term problem-solving and longer-term work on patterns that cause repeated conflict.
Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. The goal is to tailor the approach to each person’s needs so progress fits their life and schedule.

How therapy approaches are used in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with what matters to them; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with mood, panic, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which is helpful for strong anger responses and relationship conflicts.Nichole treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means sessions can include values work, skills practice, or short solution-focused steps depending on the moment and the longer-term goals.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit brief check-ins or lower-bandwidth days. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates, try coping strategies between sessions, or check in when a full session isn’t possible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules.
