How Nicole’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you clarify goals and next steps. This approach helps when you need a calm, accepting space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and managing impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide whether to emphasize CBT tools, motivational techniques, mindfulness practices, or a client-centered pace.
