Nicole Osti, LCSW, CSW

Nicole Osti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Georgia and New Jersey with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and life transitions. She also focuses on practical problems like workplace stress, money and financial worries, and challenges common to young adults.

Osti’s background spans clinical practice and case management. Much of her work has involved children, teens, and young adults, and she is beginning to engage with geriatric work. She draws on straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and get through difficult periods.

Her sessions are interactive and focused on practical steps. She combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with rational-emotive approaches and brings a solution-oriented mindset when appropriate. The emphasis is on helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build coping strategies that suit daily life.

In meetings she avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect. She will discuss options and help set goals that reflect each person’s concerns and schedule. Plans may include short-term problem solving or longer work on patterns that affect relationships and self-regard.

People often come for help with communication problems, guilt and shame, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and finding a sense of purpose. Nicole aims to make sessions clear and practical, so people can use what they learn between meetings.
