About Nicole
Nicole Merhaut is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She blends straightforward, goal-focused methods with practical tools to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Nicole keeps sessions direct and solution-minded so parents and individuals can make steady progress.
She trained in marriage and family therapy and has eight years of clinical experience working in community mental health roles. That background means she is familiar with a range of concerns from depression and trauma to substance misuse and eating-related issues.
Background and approach
Her work has included helping people cope with chronic medical conditions and autism-related needs. Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and build on strengths.
In sessions she combines these approaches to create short-term strategies and longer-term habits. People can expect a warm, nonjudgmental tone and practical steps to try between meetings. Nicole also addresses parenting and family-of-origin matters while supporting people through divorce, blended family challenges, and co-parenting concerns.
She incorporates coaching-style work when clients want more direction on next steps. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with fees that vary by location and therapist availability.

How Nicole’s Approaches Work Online
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that contribute to anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT focuses on small, testable changes in thinking and behavior that often lead to noticeable improvements in daily life.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which is goal directed and future focused. This approach zeroes in on specific outcomes and builds on what is already working, making it useful for people who want quick, practical progress on parenting, relationship, or career goals.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with clients about their goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Together they set short-term targets and track what changes between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a break. Chat or text messaging can fit quick updates, brief coaching, or clients who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, childcare, or medical needs.
