About Nicole
Nicole Williams is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont. She brings 20 years of counseling experience across independent practice, community mental health, and school settings. Nicole focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and life transitions in straightforward, practical ways.
Nicole earned a Bachelor of Science in Individual and Family Studies from the University of Delaware and a Master of Science in Counseling from Northern Vermont University.
Background and approach
She holds dual licensure in mental health counseling and school counseling from her graduate training. Over two decades she has worked with individuals facing compassion fatigue, relationship struggles, mood concerns, and other challenges. Her style is warm and direct.
Sessions aim to build a trusting relationship, name current problems, and try out useful steps to feel better. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused work alongside client-centered and mindfulness methods. Nicole pays attention to life context - family roles, caregiving stress, work pressures, and aging concerns.
She helps people take manageable steps, practice new skills, and lean on strengths already present in their lives. The tone of sessions is kind, nonjudgmental, and practical. People meet with her to address parenting strain, trauma and abuse recovery, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, intimacy or relationship questions, and challenges around career or finances.
She practices with attention to the whole person and the real demands of daily life.

How Nicole Uses Practical Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship, letting the person set goals and lead conversations while the therapist offers support and reflection. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and make sense of what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses specific exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, anger, mood shifts, and sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process helps decide whether more skill-building, problem-focused steps, or reflective listening will be best.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video can let you practice skills and read visual cues while phone calls use less bandwidth. Chat or messaging can be shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
