About Nicole

Nicole Onorato Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship pain, and parenting concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma, intimacy issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges with self-esteem or body image. Nicole works with adults age 18 and up.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She listens for the stories you tell about yourself and helps you reframe unhelpful narratives.

Background and approach

Sessions are direct but compassionate, and she mixes conversational work with clear tools you can use between meetings. Narrative Therapy is part of her toolkit, which means she and the client look at how life stories shape feelings and choices.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns, accept hard feelings, and take steps that match their values. Nicole emphasizes small, doable habits like self-care rituals and mindfulness practices to support emotional and physical wellbeing. She guides people through grief, breakups, and family conflicts with concrete coping strategies.

Over a 12-year career, Nicole has worked across a range of mood and relationship concerns using an integrative style. Her work aims to help clients feel empowered to create meaningful change and build day-to-day routines that support lasting progress.

Online session options

How Nicole’s Approaches Shape Online Care

Nicole often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problem-filled stories and rewrite parts of life that feel stuck. This can be useful for relationship pain, family patterns, or identity concerns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action toward what matters. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods to what fits a person’s needs. Together they decide whether to focus on changing thoughts, shifting stories, building habits, or a mix of these strategies.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging work for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
