Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Nicole uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep them stuck. CBT is practical and often focuses on short exercises that can be assigned between sessions to track progress and build new habits.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify what matters most and commit to small actions that reflect those values. ACT supports tolerating hard feelings while taking meaningful steps toward goals.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Nicole works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts techniques based on how sessions are going and the practical needs a person brings to therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
