About Nicole
Dr. Nicole King is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, trauma, and questions around identity. She works with clients who are navigating LGBT concerns, parenting strain, and the aftermath of difficult experiences.
Her tone is compassionate and straightforward. Dr. King uses practical conversations to break down big feelings into workable steps.
Sessions focus on clarity about what matters, short-term skills for handling strong emotions, and building long-term coping plans.
Background and approach
She encourages small experiments that lead to clearer choices. With 18 years of experience, she has seen a wide range of concerns. That background informs how she tailors interventions for mood issues, substance problems, and relationship communication challenges.
The approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. She pays attention to identity and the specific pressures that can come with it. People exploring gender or sexual identity can find a steady, respectful listening space.
Dr. King also supports parents who feel overwhelmed or burned out. In sessions she blends active problem solving with paced reflection.
Clients learn skills for anger management, stress reduction, and rebuilding after trauma. Her work aims to help people feel more in control of their decisions and their reactions.

Approaches and online care for managing strong emotions
Dr. King draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to an online setting. One approach focuses on skills training for emotion regulation, teaching concrete steps someone can use when anger or anxiety spikes. This helps people calm their body, name feelings, and choose a different response in the moment. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed grounding and stepwise processing to reduce reactivity and rebuild a sense of safety after difficult events. This work often pairs breathing and body-awareness tools with careful pacing.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Dr. King will discuss what matters to the client, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients can expect a mix of coaching, real-time skill practice, and reflective conversation to shape a plan that fits their life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and demonstrations, phone is a low-bandwidth option, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing steps between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the format that feels most comfortable.
