About Nicole
Nicole Woolery is a licensed independent social worker, Ohio LISW, with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on what will help day-to-day functioning.
Nicole uses short-term, goal-focused strategies alongside reflective listening. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing are added when they fit the situation. Her background includes hospital, school, community, and independent practice settings. Nicole has experience doing psychosocial assessments, running groups, and working with trauma and abuse concerns.
Over the years she has supported people facing parenting strain, blended family issues, and career stress. In sessions she works collaboratively to set realistic goals and small steps toward them. She emphasizes coping skills, improving communication, and building self-awareness.
Nicole can include values-based work and mindfulness exercises that people can use between meetings. She also offers a Christian-informed option for those who prefer faith-centered conversations. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their needs.
Nicole practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches available online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take action guided by their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, anger, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks patterns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking and responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That makes it easier to focus on what actually helps in daily life rather than committing to a single method up front.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text is useful for quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to use therapy in ways that fit a person's schedule and needs.
