Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Nicole uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take small, values-aligned steps. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice alternative behaviors. CBT is useful for tackling anxiety, depressive thinking, and problems with sleep or eating by building simple, measurable skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which methods feel most helpful based on your goals and preferences. She often blends techniques to match the situation and adjusts as things change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be useful for short check-ins or when writing out thoughts helps. These options let people fit care into a busy life while still working on clear goals and practical skills.
