About Nicole
Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience. She is based in Florida and lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, trauma and abuse, and family matters among the areas she helps people with.
Nicole uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent at home. She listens for patterns in relationships and in how people respond to stress. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on noticing small shifts that change daily life.
Her background includes work with people facing grief, addiction, mood challenges, and the fallout from disrupted attachment. She also addresses caregiver strain, blended family issues, communication problems, and life transitions such as divorce or separation.
Nicole draws on approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based practices. She combines talking, skill-building, and body-focused awareness to help people reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Conversations are plain and paced for busy adults managing caregiving or work obligations. Nicole accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the site's online options.
How sessions work
How Nicole uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Nicole commonly integrates attachment-based work and DBT skills into conversations. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current reactions and closeness. It helps people notice patterns of distance or clinging and try different ways of relating in everyday life. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. These skills are useful when reactivity or anger gets in the way at home.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with skill practice, moving into trauma-focused methods, or layering mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily routines. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, reduce travel time, and let people practice new communication skills in real life between meetings.
