About Nicole
Nicole Pyfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with five years of paid professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes. Nicole keeps language simple and practical so worried parents can quickly grasp how she can help.
She approaches work from a systems perspective, looking at how patterns that started in childhood still affect daily life. Sessions focus on spotting repeated behaviors and feelings, and then trying small, concrete changes.
Background and approach
Nicole also has experience helping people who have been hurt by trauma and those who have caused harm to others. Her training includes a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Master’s Degree in Counseling: Clinical Mental Health. Nicole uses a mix of approaches, including Narrative Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive methods, and emotionally-focused tools to suit different needs.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all path. In practical terms she listens for negative self-beliefs and helps people test and replace them with kinder, more realistic ideas. She also helps clients navigate family tensions, separation, and the emotional fallout from major changes.
The focus is on small steps that build toward steady improvement. Nicole emphasizes respect and compassion in sessions. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and supports people as they take the often-difficult first steps toward more satisfying everyday life.

How Nicole’s Approaches Work Online
Nicole commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, separating problems from identity so new possibilities become clearer. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering active listening and empathy so clients set the pace and goals of their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try experiments that test those beliefs in real life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with a client about goals, try different methods, and adapt plans as progress unfolds. She invites feedback and shifts course when needed, so therapy stays relevant to the person's changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and reading cues, while phone sessions can help when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling support, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options offer flexibility to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving commitments.
