Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, useful when strong feelings or conflict get in the way.She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand the different parts of themselves and how those parts interact. That approach can make it easier to respond to pain with curiosity rather than judgment, and it pairs well with skill building from CBT and DBT. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Nicole will work with each person to figure out what fits their goals, needs, and preferences over time.
