About Nicole
Nicole Wilbur is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 19 years of experience. She has worked in hospitals, homecare, hospice and palliative care, brain injury services, and schools. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, parenting and many related issues.
Nicole sees people one-on-one and has run group work and professional education in the past. She has worked with individuals across a wide range of needs, including mood disorders, trauma histories, substance concerns, and developmental differences such as autism and learning disabilities. Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling as well as support for caregivers.
Her style is interactive and practical. She uses mindfulness techniques alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and dialectical behavior strategies. Conversations focus on what fits a person's personality and goals, and on identifying daily skills to use outside sessions.
Sessions typically look at how challenges affect communication and family interactions. Nicole helps people develop clearer ways to express needs, manage strong emotions, and handle common parenting strains. She also works on sleep, eating, anger, and problems with concentration or impulsivity.
Nicole combines short-term tools with longer-term skill building. She draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused thinking when deciding next steps with a person. The aim is to build on strengths and make small, steady changes that reduce stress at home.
People who want straightforward, practice-focused sessions that connect skills to everyday family life may find her approach useful. She offers services in English and works from her Michigan licensure background.
How sessions work
How Nicole’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s needs and preferences. It means conversations are shaped around what matters most to the individual and the therapist follows the person’s lead in setting goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems going and teach practical skills to shift those patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress related to parenting.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer interaction with others, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, personality, and daily life demands. That choice can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new needs arise.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples directly into conversation.
