About Nichole
Nichole Proulx is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Maine with 13 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, or life transitions. Nichole emphasizes a person-centered stance.
She starts by listening to what matters most and helps people name their strengths. Sessions can be practical and direct, or quieter and reflective, depending on what the person needs in the moment.
How Nichole works
Her work draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are used to help with mood challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting strains, and coping with big changes. She also addresses attachment questions, blended family issues, communication problems, dissociation, infidelity, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Therapy can focus on building coping skills, managing panic, improving relationships, or finding clearer direction in work and life. Nichole aims to build a working relationship based on honesty, respect, and open communication. She adapts her style to each person, offering both guidance and space to explore.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the person’s needs.

Online support options
How chosen approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms. It is often used for panic, mood problems, stress, and sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to pick methods that fit the person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Sessions can mix techniques so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face; phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is a problem; live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using ACT or CBT tools in practical ways.
