About Nicole
Nicole Larson is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She has 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma. Nicole focuses on building practical skills people can use day to day.
She meets people where they are and supports steady progress toward clearer goals. Nicole believes people know their own stories and already carry strengths that matter. She helps clients name patterns that get in the way and tries out new ways of coping.
How Nicole works
The work often includes learning tools for panic, mood swings, and low self-esteem. Sessions can also address relationship fractures such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication struggles, and divorce or separation stress. People also bring worries about caregiver burnout, feeling isolated, guilt, shame, or questions about life purpose and midlife change.
Nicole helps with impulsivity, control issues, and forgiveness work when those topics come up. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape practical steps tailored to each person’s situation. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.
Nicole will listen first, then offer exercises and ideas to try between sessions. Progress is tracked in small, measurable steps so people can see change over time. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
International clients are not currently accepted, and services are provided from her Minnesota licensure.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Nicole uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can practice. One approach emphasizes symptom management for mood and anxiety; it teaches breathing, behavioral experiments, and simple coping strategies to reduce panic and steady mood swings. Another approach centers on processing trauma and its impact on daily life; it helps people recognize trauma responses and build routines that reduce reactivity and shame.Choosing the right approach happens together. Nicole will ask about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will suggest methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made, so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy can be a flexible way to get regular support. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when discussion and visual cues matter. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, on-the-go contact between sessions or when someone prefers written communication. These options help make therapy fit into busy schedules and varied daily rhythms.
