About Nicole
Nicole Flores is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting-related pressures. Her work also addresses issues such as sleep and eating problems, anger, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and concerns related to identity and LGBT matters.
Nicole uses straightforward conversation to help people sort problems and find manageable steps forward. She combines client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Sessions are focused and goal-oriented, with space to talk through upsetting events and learn coping strategies.
Her approach pays attention to family and parenting concerns, including adoption and foster care questions and family conflict as it affects an individual. She also brings experience with trauma-focused work, postpartum mood difficulties, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, and dissociation when those are part of a person's story.
Nicole aims to make sessions useful from the start. People can expect to look at patterns in thinking and behavior, practice new skills, and build small routines that reduce stress. She supports people dealing with grief, shame, body image worries, and the practical strain of parenting.
Her background includes two decades in clinical settings serving people with mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, and self-harm concerns. She works in English and is licensed in Michigan as an LMSW. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Nicole blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in straightforward ways. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the person's concerns, helping them name what matters and decide where to focus. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them.She also uses mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice stress and anxiety without getting swept up by them. These practices are useful for panic, mood shifts, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, and will recommend which methods to try. Clients and the therapist make these decisions together and adjust as needed.
