BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values. In practice this looks like naming what matters to a person and building small steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.
Mindfulness practices are used alongside these approaches to help people stay present and manage strong emotions. Simple breathing or grounding exercises may be offered as tools to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts methods based on what helps in the first few sessions and the client's preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Discuss format and scheduling through the site matching process before the first appointment.
