Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Nick listens closely and meets people where they are so they can start making changes that matter.

Background and approach
He has seven years of counseling experience and has worked with adults, teens, and children. He supports parents who want practical ways to connect with their kids, including play-based techniques that strengthen relationships through simple interactions. Nick is open to discussing questions about medication, including medical marijuana, and how it may fit alongside therapy.
He describes his role as non-judgmental and collaborative when people are exploring options for care. Clients from LGBT communities can expect an affirming approach. He focuses on helping people cope with stress, build self-acceptance, and find better ways to manage difficult feelings.
In sessions, Nick aims for clear, usable strategies rather than long talks alone. He works with people who want help handling anger, improving sleep, managing ADHD symptoms, navigating grief, or adjusting to life changes.

Approach and online options for practical change
Nick combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make clear changes. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and can try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills can be useful when anger, intense emotions, or impulsive behaviors get in the way of daily life. Together these approaches help with anxiety, anger management, mood concerns, and coping with big life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and everyday routines, then try methods that fit the client's needs. Sessions include practiced skills, short exercises, and planning to use new strategies between meetings.
Online therapy with Nick is available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone counseling can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, short skill reviews, or support between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy days while keeping work focused on practical steps and emotional coping.
