About Nikki

Nikki Ciletti is a licensed professional counselor who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and relational challenges.

Background and approach

With 24 years of clinical experience in Colorado, she blends evidence-informed strategies with an empathic, individualized approach to support clients through transitions and difficult life events. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns, from panic and social anxiety to grief, anger, and compassion fatigue, as well as intimacy-related issues and ADHD.

Nikki also works with families navigating adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and problems related to substance use. She emphasizes practical skills for coping and communication while attending to the emotional patterns that shape relationships.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that prioritizes respect, clear goals, and tailored interventions. Nikki frames therapy as a partnership focused on strengthening resilience, improving emotional regulation, and fostering healthier connections within family and social systems.

Applying CBT and Relational Approaches Online

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard, creating space for clients to explore feelings and priorities at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotional responses within relationships and can be useful when addressing intimacy-related issues and family dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, assess which methods fit best, and adapt interventions over time so they match evolving needs and preferences. This shared decision making helps shape a treatment plan that feels practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or while traveling. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life, maintain continuity during transitions, and use brief check-ins when needed, all while preserving a focus on skill-building, emotional processing, and improved communication.
