About Nicole
Nicole Onorato Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Nicole approaches therapy in a direct but compassionate way that aims to be practical and relatable.
She uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. Sessions often focus on real-life tools like mindful breathing, behavior changes, and clearer communication.
Background and approach
Nicole helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and practice different responses in everyday situations. Nicole draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices. She uses these approaches to address issues such as trauma, intimacy concerns, body image, and codependency.
The goal is to build skills people can try between sessions. Her work emphasizes creating routines that support emotional health. She encourages small, consistent habits - sleep, movement, and self-care - that reduce overwhelm and improve mood.
Nicole also helps people work through family of origin problems, forgiveness, and commitment concerns. Therapy is collaborative and practical. Nicole guides clients to reframe negative beliefs, clarify values, and set achievable steps.
People leave with concrete strategies to manage anger, cope with life changes, and strengthen relationships.

Online approaches that focus on action and connection
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It pairs practical exercises with simple mindfulness practices to reduce struggle with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, anger, and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships and helps people build healthier patterns of connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that match your needs. Together you decide which strategies feel most helpful, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face to face when deeper conversation and visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and quick skill practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try approaches consistently.
