Approaches Nicole lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Practical approaches for online care
Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that increase stress and anger. CBT focuses on clear steps people can practice between sessions to shift reactions and mood.She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers short, concrete techniques for handling intense feelings and reducing impulsive responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about a person's goals, challenges, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means strategies are adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and styles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, short-form contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills in real time.
