Online support
How Nicole’s approaches work in online sessions
Nicole often uses Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, values, and personal choices when life feels unsettled. This approach helps with big-picture questions like purpose, loss, and making direction changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape trust and closeness. That perspective can help people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment worries, or repeated relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as you learn what helps. The process is collaborative and paced to what you can use between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for a full conversational session and visual connection. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a less visual check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging let people do shorter check-ins, keep momentum between sessions, and fit therapy into busy schedules.
