About Nicole
Nicole uses a mix of methods to suit each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for managing strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also inform her sessions when they fit a client's goals.
Her background includes 13 years working in mental health and addiction settings. She has experience with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, ADHD, and issues related to sexuality and identity. She has also supported people through systems like courts and care agencies in the past.
In sessions she focuses on practical problem solving and on building skills people can use day to day. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and aims to shape therapy around their values and schedule. That keeps work focused and realistic.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and then practice different responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and work-related stress. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or differently paced check-ins when life is hectic. It also supports using skills in real-world settings between meetings, which can speed up progress toward career and personal goals.
