How Nicole works
Nicole emphasizes collaboration - clients help set the goals and the pace of work. Nicole is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. She practices in Wisconsin and brings five years of clinical experience to her work.
Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic violence and helping those dealing with depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. Her areas of focus include parenting stress, compassion fatigue, addictions, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar and mood disorders, and ADHD. She also pays attention to blended family dynamics, post-traumatic stress, and young adult challenges.
In sessions she combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with solution-focused techniques. That means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying concrete behavior changes, and building on what already works. The goal is practical progress you can use between visits.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. In short sessions clients learn to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior experiments to see what changes feel better. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday stressors.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which zeroes in on strengths and past successes. Sessions focus on clear, short-term goals and practical steps clients can try between visits. That work is helpful when someone wants focused change in areas like parenting, workplace stress, or coping with life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT techniques, solution-focused steps, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use body language and longer conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and flexible ways to keep work moving between appointments.
