About Nicole

Nicole Durant is an Ohio-licensed therapist with 13 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. She emphasizes practical coping tools alongside emotional exploration to help clients manage symptoms and build resilience.

Background and approach

Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-informed strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness techniques. Nicole aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can examine patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop clearer communication and self-understanding.

She also attends to related issues like attachment and abandonment, family of origin dynamics, caregiver stress, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic and phobias, and struggles with guilt or isolation. Clients work collaboratively with Nicole to set realistic goals and practice skills that translate into daily life.

Her style balances empathy and structure so that therapy feels both supportive and actionable for people ready to make changes.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding; this approach can aid with anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and many everyday stressors. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles that prioritize empathy, validation, and a collaborative pace so clients feel understood as they explore personal challenges. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for overwhelming emotional states or relational conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicole works with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are developed together, blending supportive listening with structured skill-building so clients can practice changes between sessions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the communication style that feels most comfortable. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to tailor interventions to each person’s circumstances.
