Nickole Wyse , LMHC

Nickole Wyse is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship concerns. She draws on nine years of experience in residential addiction treatment, correctional settings, and online work to support practical change. Nickole focuses on helping people build healthier coping skills and clearer self-understanding.

She has worked with people dealing with depression, ADHD, low self-worth, codependency, family of origin issues, trauma, and substance use. Her background includes supporting those navigating grief, intimacy-related problems, eating concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Nickole brings down-to-earth language and steady support to difficult conversations.

Nickole earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She practiced in Michigan and Florida, and now provides services to people located in Florida. Her clinical pathway includes work in residential addiction programs and correctional facilities, which informs how she helps clients manage co-occurring challenges.

In sessions she centers the person first and adapts tools to fit each situation. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, emotionally focused work, and motivational interviewing when they match a client's goals. The aim is to reduce harmful patterns, like substance use and self-defeating thoughts, and replace them with healthier habits.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys making things, reading, movies, organizing, and spending playful time with family. That lighter side often shows up in sessions through warmth and an easy rapport.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Nickole combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address everyday problems. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting a person where they are to build trust and self-compassion. Cognitive behavioral work looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, mood, and impulsive habits. Mindfulness practices help people become more aware of thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity and support healthier choices.

Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they choose or blend approaches and adjust them as progress and needs change, keeping sessions focused on practical steps toward the client's goals.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect that make it easier to fit help into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, homework, or support between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles while keeping therapeutic work consistent.
