I lucked out in terms of therapy. It’s nice to not have to worry about not being heard . Any concern is just as important and valid as the last. The support she can give is unmatched.

I love Nicole! She has been the constant in my life that is honest and provides a new perception when I am lost in my own views and misconceptions of my own world. I am a better person and better advocate for mental health because she gave me the tools to succeed and the tools to be my true self. There were no deadlines or time expectations for growth and she has been there for me since day 1!

As a seasoned Social Worker with a decade of experience, I bring a compassionate and insightful approach to therapy. I obtained my Clinical Social Work License in 2020 after completing my Masters in 2014. In 2023, I earned a Doctorate of Social Work from Aurora University.
My therapeutic practice is diverse, catering to adults, parents, couples, teens, and youth. Over the years, I've developed a specialization in addressing various issues such as Neurodivergence, Attachment or Relationship Issues, Family Dynamics, Workplace Burnout, Racial Stress & Trauma, LGBTQ issues, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, Life Transitions, Parent Coaching, and Childhood Trauma.
In therapy, I firmly believe that you hold the keys to your own healing and growth. My role is that of a supportive guide, utilizing therapeutic techniques to unearth the answers within you.
Drawing from a rich toolkit of therapeutic approaches including Narrative Therapy, Logotherapy, Existentialism, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Rational Emotive Therapy, Self-Psychology, Bowen’s Family System, and Humor Psychology, I tailor my methods to suit your unique needs and preferences.
Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, where you are empowered to navigate life's challenges with resilience and insight.

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 couldn’t be happier with or more proud of the work that I’ve done with Nicole this year.
Nicole is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had in my life. She is definitely an active listener, and practices a form of existential therapy where she is along for the ride with you. She always sweetly challenged me and comforted me in the exact right ways. We did a deep diveInto a past relationship of mine that really helped me heal from the trauma of it. I hope we can work together again in the future.
Nicole Maronde is very nice and easy to talk to. I feel like I lucked out in terms of therapist because I needed someone who is an active listener and who challenges me to think outside the box. I never felt more heard in my life. I highly recommend.
I’ve been working with Nicole for about five months now and I couldn’t be more grateful for her. She’s compassionate, supportive, and understanding. I look forward to our sessions every week, even though sometimes they can be challenging. I’m proud of the growth I’ve experienced in these five months and her support throughout my process has been invaluable.
Nicole has been amazing in the time since we’ve started sessions. I feel like we’ve really clicked, and I’ve genuinely appreciated all of her advice and expertise.
Nicole has been great. I’m just beginning my experience with therapy, and I’m confident that she will be a great help to me. She’s compassionate and insightful and I couldn’t be more happy with the work we’ve done so far.
