About Nick
Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He works with adults, teens, and children and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and calm.
Nick uses practical talk and clear steps to look at what’s happening day to day. He often draws on Narrative ideas to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves.
Background and approach
He also uses Client-Centered methods to keep conversations focused on the person in front of him and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when thinking patterns and behaviors need changing. He pays attention to parenting questions and has experience supporting parents who want new ways to connect with their children. Play-based techniques and Child Parent Relationship methods are part of that work for younger clients.
He has worked with people coping with ADHD and other developmental concerns. Nick approaches LGBTQ concerns with visible allyship and keeps judgment out of sessions. He is open to discussing medication choices, including medical marijuana, as part of a broader plan.
His style is collaborative - he listens first and then suggests steps clients can try between sessions. With seven years as an LPC, he aims to build a clear plan with each person. Sessions are designed to be practical and doable, focused on small changes that add up over time.
People who want a straightforward, respectful counselor often find his approach helpful.

Online session options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Nick draws on Narrative Therapy to help people revisit and change unhelpful life stories; this approach helps when people feel stuck in a single negative narrative. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and understanding so clients can set their own goals. Finally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete strategies to shift thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. This makes sessions feel tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to choose what fits their life. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging work well for quick updates, homework, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and daily life.
