About Nick
Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by life changes. He works with clients who face addiction, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and identity-related stress including LGBT issues.
Nick uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He centers conversations on each person's goals and strengths. He helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new coping skills, and try small changes between sessions.
How Nick works
His approach often draws on client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions are collaborative and geared toward real problems people bring in. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are also part of the work when regulation or emotional intensity is a concern.
Nick has experience supporting people with parenting challenges, ADHD, chronic health concerns, and caregiver stress. He also addresses issues like body image, commitment and communication problems, and the impacts of abandonment or adoption history. He mentions working non-judgmentally with kink and alternative sex culture when that is part of someone’s story.
In conversations about medication or medical marijuana, he takes a supportive, non-judgmental stance and will coordinate counseling goals around those choices. Sessions can include coaching-style work for career stress and compassion fatigue as well as traditional therapy pacing and goal setting.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's needs and strengths. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace, helping them set goals and try changes that matter in daily life. This approach is useful for people who want an accepting space to talk through stress and identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with difficult life changes. Sessions include short exercises and actions to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Nick will work with clients to choose techniques based on their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts pace and tools over time so the work fits each person rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, coaching moments, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
