More about Nicole

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional counselor in the state of Missouri with over 10 years of experience. I I feel honored to be able to walk with people through some of their most difficult times and help them find hope and healing in their lives, which may have felt impossible at the start.

My approach to counseling is to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable enough to be genuinely known, safe enough for honest exploration, and supported enough to take new steps. I am a person dedicated to Christian faith and committed to helping each person find the wholeness and healing they desire. I glean from several counseling theories to tailor an approach that works best for you.

I have worked with individuals and families facing a variety of challenges such as depression and anxiety, relational and communication difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, marital and parenting struggles, and many other life situations causing people to feel stuck or empty.

Taking the step to try counseling requires a lot of courage, and I appreciate your consideration in allowing me to walk alongside you toward the change you desire.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Nicole has been amazing. I don't know how and when it happened but my life has changed for the better. Just showing up everyweek. The good days and the bad. She listens in a way that makes you feel heard. She identifies the problem and helps you to figure it out yourself. She has empowered me in setting boundaries and accepting myself the good and the bad. She doesn't talk at you or give you advice. She guides you in making changes you feel comfortable with at the time and all the small changes add up. Thank you so much! Life actually feels worth living now

I joined Betterhelp knowing that I wanted to find a connection with a professional who I could open up to and who would help guide me through life changes. Nicole has been an incredible resource to rely on and always has very thoughtful commentary. I would highly recommend Nicole, as she has been a constant for me during some major life changes.

She is very understandable and helps you through your problems and your thinking process.

Nicole is so great! She makes me feel comfortable to talk to her and listens with compassion and empathy. I came to her not even knowing exactly why I started counseling and she helped me not only pinpoint my issues but guides me in how to handle things myself and gives me the tools and reassurance necessary to help me grow and become myself again. I truly do not know where I would be without her help these past months.

I remember coming to BetterHelp because I believed that their app would allow for easy switching of therapists if needed, but what I realised is that my match with Nicole was perfect, she was just the person I needed to talk to about my experiences and feelings and is a very good listener and I always feel supported and more over she challenges me on some of my thoughts which won’t serve me in life, where they need to be challenged which I think is very important.

Reviewed February 2021

Nicole's ability to listen has helped me a lot. Every session she helps me to have insights and new points of view of myself and my life that even make me understand other people and my relationships with them better. From the begining she asked what I wanted and expected from the counselling, even asked how long I expected to do it for, and always respected and believed what I said. She not only listens, but make the right questions to take you further in direction of dealing with the problems you said you wanted to deal with or work on. She also make connections between things you say that aren't always obvious, sometimes that I would never had thought were related, sometimes I thought "this is obvious" but really how many years would it take for me to get to these conclusions? And would I know when I got to these answers? She is a great guide that I'd say could help anyone understand their situation and it's causes to then be able to work on it, or see it a different way. I highly recommend Nicole.
