More about Nicole
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
With 10 years of professional experience, I am committed to supporting individuals on their path to mental and emotional well-being. My practice is grounded in client-centered therapy, where I believe in empowering you to tap into your own strengths and insights. I also integrate mindfulness-based therapy, helping you become more present and aware, which can foster a deeper sense of peace and self-compassion.
I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and personal growth. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative, with the goal of creating a space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. By blending mindfulness techniques with client-centered principles, we work together to cultivate a greater awareness of the present moment, manage difficult emotions, and develop tools to cope with life's challenges.
Whether you're seeking to overcome obstacles or simply want to better understand yourself, I am here to guide and support you on your journey to healing and personal growth.

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.
