Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Nicole uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face and then rewrite unhelpful stories that keep them stuck. This approach can help with identity concerns, relationship patterns, and self-worth by creating new ways to see difficult events or behaviors.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where getting unstuck matters more than eliminating every unpleasant feeling.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps you make progress. Together you decide which tools and ideas fit your needs and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break during a busy day. Live chat or text is helpful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when you prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to get consistent support around work, parenting, or other commitments.
