About Nicole
Nicole Reineri is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Her approach aims to make real changes that fit everyday life.
Nicole earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling from Lindenwood University. Before becoming a therapist she worked in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, addiction services, and applied behavior analysis.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her interest in helping people who face complex life challenges. Her clinical work has included practicum experience at a high school, where she led groups for at-risk youth and provided individual crisis counseling. She has also taught introductory psychology at the college level and continues to run a independent practice.
This mix of classroom and hands-on work informs her practical outlook in sessions. Nicole uses a blend of therapeutic styles rather than a single technique. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral skills, emotionally-focused methods, and existential perspectives.
She adapts these to the person in front of her and the goals they bring to therapy. In sessions she helps people sort thoughts, name feelings, and practice new ways of responding. She emphasizes growth, acceptance, and focused action so clients can move toward the calmer, more satisfying life they want.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens deeply and helps the client find their own solutions and insight.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting methods over time, and blending approaches when useful so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Text and chat let people keep a running dialogue or get brief support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
