More about Nicolette
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I obtained a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University in Eagan, Minnesota in 2012 and have been licensed since 2016. My previous work experience has been in a family residential treatment center where families healed together by self growth and an increase in self awareness. I focus on a person’s strengths and building upon this to find new ways of living a life of joy and fulfillment. I have over eight years of experience working with substance use disorders, anxiety, women's issues, self-esteem and self worth. My goal is to offer a supportive environment so together we take steps at finding your true self. I believe one needs a safe environment to be able to look at the challenges they are experiencing. I value one's experiences in how it shaped the person they are today and who they want to become. Learning our stories, we allow ourselves to be able to find how we want our stories to look moving forward. I believe people have the courage to start to unweave their challenges to find themselves when they have encouragement and support. I want to support you in finding ways to connect with your true self. I take a side by side approach when finding ways to better support one's growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have recommended better help to do many of my friends! It has been a life changing for me! Thank you.
Nicolette has been amazing to work with these past months. I’ve found her to be very understanding and able to provide helpful feedback to the topics I’ve brought up. She’s helped me to gain new perspectives and develop my own tools in order to be more effective in dealing with things on my own. My self confidence and self worth have made a dramatic improvement over our time together. I’m very appreciative for the wonderful help she has been able to provide.
Starting online therapy seemed daunting and less personal, but Nicolette has removed any shred of doubt that this is an effective format. When I have therapy sessions with Nicolette, it is clear she is listening and invested in how I feel and what I have to say. Her responses to my journal entries are always thoughtful, and she offers me perspectives I never would have considered. In conjunction to this, she has helped guide me to services - like medication - that have totally turned my life around. I have been able to make huge strides in my mental health, and I highly recommend her.
For some personal reasons i had to cancel my subscription and i know that i will miss Nicolette! She brings this calm/center/loving energy that I could feel since my first session with her. Ive learned a lot about myself and my emotions during this time we've been working together and i hope to see her soon. Thank you Nicolette for your support and patience.
Nicolette has been life changing for me. Every time I open up about something that I think she will judge or shun me for, she thanks me for being honest and she helps me sort out my feelings without ridicule. I really appreciate her
Nicolette is the first therapist I have had that is truly helping my look at things in a different way about myself. Her ability to make me feel heard and to help me look deeper as been much appreciated. I love the flexibility and the the option for messaging throughout the week. She always sends prompt and thoughtful responses that hep me reflect and process my issues. I highly recommend Nicollet!
Nicolette is amazing. She responds in a timely manner, listens to concerns and goals, and it is obvious that she puts a lot of time and thought into every response.
Nicolette is compassionate and caring ,while still being able to gently push me to expand my horizons and consider things more deeply. She is insightful while helping me to make my own insights. She is a fantastic listener and all around wonderful therapist!
I spent 3 months working with Nicolette and I really appreciated her soft, but direct approach. She is a very patient listener and was able to get me to look at my situations from other perspectives and I feel like that is a beneficial life skill to have. Thank you, Nicolette, for giving me such a positive introduction to therapy.
Nicolette is an amazing person. She helped me crawl from my deepest dark hole to see light and be whole again. Looking forward to many more sessions. Nicolette has definitely made an impact on seeing life / my own inner issues from a different perspective in just a small amount of time so far. I thank you.
Having Nicolette as my counselor has been very a positive experience. I’m sharing things so she can understand me better. In response, she has recommended things that have been on point and helpful.
Nicolette has a very calm presence and asks thoughtful and thought provoking questions. She has constructive and helpful suggestions to help me improve my mindset and outlook on sometimes challenging life situations.
I like Nicolette’s approach to therapy. I was afraid to start and have to go too deep too fast. She is very patient and asks the right guiding questions to get me to open up fully. I feel understood and respected.
