About Nicolette
Nicolette Ulstrom is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses a compassionate, person-focused approach. She centers sessions on clients' strengths and practical steps. Her style aims to help people reduce stress and manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety.
She brings eight years of clinical experience and a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University in Eagan, Minnesota. That background includes work in a family residential treatment center where healing happened through increased self-awareness and growth.
Background and approach
This experience shaped her focus on substance use, anxiety, women’s issues, and self-esteem. In sessions she listens first, then helps clients identify small, useful changes. She prefers a side-by-side model where therapist and client set goals together.
That can mean learning new ways to handle cravings, defuse angry moments, or build routines that support mood and motivation. Nicolette values personal stories and how past experiences shape current choices. She uses narrative ideas to help people see different possibilities for the future.
She also draws on emotion-focused tools to strengthen connection with what really matters. Clients can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance aimed at daily life. The work often includes skill practice, reflective conversation, and goal setting.
The overall aim is to help people reconnect with their true selves and move toward greater fulfillment.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and managing intense emotions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what already works for a person. It helps people feel heard and decide next steps that fit their life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful reactions. It is often used to calm anger, handle stress, and improve emotional regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions and can be useful when grief, intimacy, or relationship patterns are central concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to match an approach to their goals and preferences. That means trying out strategies, checking in on what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing written reflection, or support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while still focusing on practical skills and emotional work.
