About Nicole

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger concerns.
Nicole focuses on building a straightforward, nonjudgmental space. Sessions are meant to help people talk through hard feelings and notice patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Nicole has experience with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and identity topics such as gender dysphoria and LGBT issues. Therapy often pulls from attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and self-understanding. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices to teach emotion regulation skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and somatic tools may be used for processing trauma and body-based stress. Nicole is licensed in Kansas (LCPC) and Missouri (LPC) and practices from Florida while working with international clients in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape emotions and behavior. Online sessions can be used to identify patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of relating. This approach helps with issues like attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and family of origin patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. In remote sessions clients learn mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills through practice and coaching between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and symptoms together and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as people learn what helps them most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client interact face to face, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or jotting down thoughts between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing new skills consistently.
