About Nicole
Nicole Cheleotis is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on helping adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and anger. Nicole aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and learn practical skills that fit their day-to-day lives.
Her background blends evidence-informed methods with a warm, accepting stance.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She also draws on narrative and mindfulness approaches to help people make sense of their stories and find steadier ground. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth.
Nicole listens first, then works with each person to build specific strategies for stress, panic, mood swings, or relationship and communication problems. She pays attention to how past attachment experiences, adoption or foster care histories, and caregiver strain can show up in daily functioning. Practical skills are a central part of her work.
Clients may learn breathing and grounding tools, thought-challenging exercises, and ways to name and manage impulsivity or overwhelm. Nicole supports people navigating gender dysphoria, LGBT issues, parenting strain, and the fatigue that comes from caregiving. Her approach is steady and respectful.
Nicole partners with adults to set achievable goals, track small changes, and build routines that reduce stress and improve mood over time.

How selected approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood; online sessions use that same tone to help adults clarify goals and talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between video or chat sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, works with memories and associated reactions to reduce their emotional intensity and can be adapted to online formats when appropriate.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Nicole will talk with each person about their history, goals, and what feels workable, then suggest methods to try. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so clients participate in choosing the path forward.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a brief break. Live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins, homework reminders, and ongoing encouragement between scheduled sessions. These options help adults fit therapy into busy lives while working on stress, anger, trauma, and mood concerns.
