How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Nicole commonly uses attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused ideas in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change repeated reactions that fuel anger. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce reactivity and low mood. Emotionally-focused techniques explore interaction patterns and teach different ways to express needs and calm escalation.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Nicole will collaborate with clients to decide which techniques fit their situation and goals. That means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
