About Nicole
Nicole Flores is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and anger. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and less overwhelming.
Nicole creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken aloud. She uses plain language and practical tools so people can try small changes between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Her approach blends patient-focused listening with proven techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and shift behavior.
Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to stay grounded in stressful moments. Nicole also draws on solution-focused methods to set concrete short-term goals. For past hurt or ongoing trauma, she uses trauma-focused strategies that prioritize safety and pacing.
She adapts methods to each person's situation rather than following one fixed plan. Many clients come for help with sleep, eating concerns, ADHD challenges, mood swings, panic, or social anxiety. Nicole also supports people dealing with adoption or foster care questions, body image struggles, and feelings of guilt or shame.
She encourages realistic steps toward steady progress and clearer day-to-day routines.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Nicole blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make online sessions practical and focused. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations center on the client’s experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting so people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns and test new behaviors, useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach brief grounding exercises that reduce reactivity in stressful moments. Mindfulness techniques can be practiced between sessions and help with sleep, panic, and intrusive memories. The therapist will work together with each client to decide which approaches feel most helpful and will adjust the plan as needs and goals evolve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing progress notes without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and try skills in daily life.
