About Nicolle
Nicolle Atchison is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five years of practice based in Washington. She focuses on meeting people where they are, offering evening and Saturday appointments to fit busy schedules. Nicolle builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through hard things and look for clearer direction.
Her sessions aim to be honest and down-to-earth. She combines listening with practical steps so people leave with something they can use.
Background and approach
Nicolle helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and the fallout from past trauma. She also supports people facing life changes like career shifts, parenting stress, or midlife questions. Relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, and communication problems are a frequent focus.
She works with people on family-related concerns including blended family matters and fatherhood issues. Nicolle uses approaches such as existential therapy and emotionally-focused therapy while also drawing on client-centered, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. That mix helps people make meaning, regulate emotions, and set small achievable goals.
She emphasizes collaboration so sessions reflect each person’s goals and pace. Practical matters are part of the process. Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support
How Nicolle’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Existential therapy helps people name what matters most and face big life questions. In online sessions this often looks like guided conversations about values, meaning, and choices to help with emptiness, life purpose, or midlife concerns.Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on real feelings and how they shape relationships. When used online it can help clients notice patterns, practice new responses, and bring clarity to intimacy or communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicolle will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, adjusting over time based on what feels helpful. That collaborative process helps shape each session so it stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotion work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, quick coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences.
