Nick Livingston, LPC

Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. He works with adults and teens on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, relationship strain, parenting questions, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and behaviors rather than long lectures or vague theory.

Nick emphasizes collaboration. He starts by listening to what is happening day to day, then outlines straightforward strategies clients can try between sessions. He uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that fuel anger and anxiety.

He also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These skills are presented in short, usable formats so people can practice them when stress spikes at work or home. He has experience supporting parents through play-based approaches for children and child-parent connection methods.

Nick understands medication choices, including medical marijuana, may be part of someone’s plan and discusses how counseling and medications can work together. He identifies as an ally to LGBT clients and addresses the extra stress that can come from social pressures in Oklahoma.

Practical problem solving, clear skill-building, and plain language guide his work. People who want to handle anger without shame or blame can expect steady, direct support and concrete tools to try between sessions.
