About Nicole
Nicole Deisher is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She works with individuals on relationship concerns, motivation, self-esteem, and coping after trauma. Nicole offers practical support and clear steps so people can start feeling steadier day to day.
Nicole uses straightforward talk and focused techniques in sessions. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are part of her toolbox for building small, manageable changes. With eleven years of practice as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and an Ohio LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker), she brings steady clinical experience to common life problems. Clients can expect a calm presence and practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Sessions cover a broad range of concerns including depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, intimacy, sleep problems, and family of origin issues. Nicole also addresses adoption and foster care questions, attachment and abandonment concerns, and body image or communication difficulties. Her approach is collaborative.
She helps people set achievable goals and checks progress along the way. When a different tactic is needed, she offers alternatives and adjusts the plan to fit the person’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce stress and anxiety. CBT breaks problems into clear parts and gives simple exercises to practice between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques can be especially useful for managing anger, intense moods, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Nicole will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts the plan when something isn’t helping, so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill teaching, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
