Background and approach
Nicole emphasizes collaboration, inviting clients to shape their own therapy goals and to move at a pace that fits their circumstances. Her work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to address a wide range of concerns, from depression, bipolar symptoms, and trauma-related issues to parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress.

She communicates in English and sees clients through a variety of online formats to increase accessibility for those in Wisconsin.
Nicole frames therapy as a partnership in which clients identify meaningful goals and try strategies that fit their lives. She encourages prospective clients who are ready to make changes to take the next step and explore whether her practical, collaborative approach aligns with their needs.
Practical approaches for online therapy and goal work
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and then practice alternative ways of thinking and acting that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes building on existing strengths and identifying small, concrete steps that move a person toward their goals. This method can be useful for clients seeking focused, short-term progress on specific issues such as workplace stress, relationship challenges, or coping with life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, try strategies that fit the person’s preferences and needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to provide feedback so therapy stays aligned with their priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
