Online session options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Nicole uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and notice patterns that keep problems in place; this approach can help with identity, relationship stories, and making sense of change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships affect feelings and behavior and can support people working through attachment issues, abandonment, or caregiving strain. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and helping the client set the pace and goals for sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods, adjust based on results, and pick practices that feel useful in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or a way to share updates without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to keep consistent weekly work and to practice new skills in real time.
