About Nicolle
Nicolle Atchison is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on practical support for people facing hard moments. Nicolle aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where someone can speak openly and start finding clearer steps forward.
She uses a collaborative style and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters now.
How Nicolle works
Sessions often include goal-focused work and chances to name emotions and patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. Nicolle helps with stress and anxiety, depression, grief, and problems rooted in past hurts. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and career or life-purpose questions.
Practical tools and small experiments between sessions are common parts of the work. Her background blends approaches that emphasize emotional connection, present-moment awareness, and workable solutions. That means some sessions focus on feelings and attachment, while others focus on brief strategies to reduce symptoms and move toward goals.
Nicolle tailors the mix to the person in front of her. People who appreciate honest, warm guidance tend to do well in her practice. She offers evenings and Saturday appointments to fit busy schedules.
New clients begin by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

Online support options
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so someone can better understand their feelings and choices; this helps with self-esteem, shame, and relationship worries.Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify core emotions and patterns that shape how they relate to others. It is useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and resolving recurring relationship pain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicolle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean blending emotional exploration with brief, solution-focused steps so progress feels steady and manageable.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit during a commute or a break and require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, homework, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work and family life.
