About Nicole
Nicole Schellinger is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 18 years of counseling experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, depression, ADHD and related concerns. She works in English and draws on several common therapeutic methods to support practical change.
Nicole begins by listening to what the person wants to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-world steps rather than abstract theory. She uses straightforward conversational work to identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding to triggers and strong feelings.
Her background includes a bachelorin addictions studies from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Lindsey Wilson College. Much of her early career was in community behavioral health, where she worked with people dealing with addiction, mood concerns, and trauma-related problems.
In practice she uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, solution-focused work, motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. That mix is used to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build practical coping tools for anger, stress, and relationship difficulties.
Sessions are organized around the persons priorities. Nicole aims to help people reduce conflict, manage impulses, and communicate more clearly. The focus is on usable skills and small changes that make daily life easier.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anger, stress, and situations where avoidance increases distress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and develop alternative responses to triggers like frustration or rumination.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps clarify what someone wants to change and strengthens their reasons for doing it. This approach is often helpful when motivation feels mixed, such as with addictions or commitment issues.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is tracked.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking since the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so therapy is simpler to attend.
