About Nicole

Nicole Hohler is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with seven years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative stance that recognizes each client as the expert on their own life, drawing on strengths already present while introducing practical tools for change. Nicole supports work around motivation, coping with life transitions, and a range of mood and behavioral concerns including process addictions and substance-related issues.

Her practice blends structured, evidence-informed techniques and person-centered support. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based strategies and skills training to address emotional regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns, and interpersonal communication.

Nicole encourages clients to take small, manageable steps toward their goals and to build self-compassion as part of that process. Prospective clients in Ohio can expect an empathetic, practical approach that aims to make therapy useful for everyday life.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Nicole blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions to help clients change unhelpful thinking patterns and build values-driven behavior. CBT provides structured tools to identify and reframe thoughts and habits that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and problematic behaviors, while ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility and committing to actions aligned with personal values.

She also draws on Client-Centered principles to create a collaborative, empathetic space where the client's perspective guides the work. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process - the therapist partners with clients to tailor approaches based on their goals, preferences, and responses to interventions rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to use practical skills between meetings, helping clients apply strategies in real-world contexts.
