Hi there, welcome. My name is Nicole, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).
A little about me:
I began my career on an inpatient behavioral health unit. During that time (close to four years) I had been granted the opportunity to work as a part of a multi-disciplinary team while simultaneously being able to develop my personal counseling style. I have strong CBT experience and have worked with clients with a variety of mental health concerns including (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD. I have additionally worked with individuals living with substance use disorders.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in working collaboratively to create a realistic plan with attainable goals. It takes courage to take the first step towards living a happier, more fulfilling life. I understand this and use it as a guiding principle in developing personalized treatment plans that are tailored to your individual needs and concerns.
Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. I have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track while supporting and empowering you along the way. Let's do this together.
I so look forward to working with you!

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.
