Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when people need tools for mood, coping, or behavior change. Her background includes community mental health and telehealth settings, where she has supported people facing trauma, addiction, mood disorders, grief, and parenting stress.
Nicole aims to create a warm, non-judgmental space where practical steps matter as much as talking things through. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Nicole typically schedules Monday through Friday, early morning to late evening Eastern time, with occasional weekend options and flexibility by arrangement. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. Nicole focuses on identifying small, achievable changes to help people move toward more balanced daily life.

Online support
Online approaches that support relationships and coping
Nicole often combines Gottman Method ideas with attachment-based and client-centered work. Gottman Method concepts focus on improving communication, reducing conflict patterns, and rebuilding connection in relationships through observable skills and exercises. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles affect current behavior and helps people repair trust and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the person sets goals and the therapist follows their lead.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and preferences, and then suggest strategies to try first. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps, so therapy stays practical and aligned with the person's life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on skill building and steady progress.
