Nicole Bebiak , LCPC, LMHC

Nicole Bebiak is a licensed counselor practicing in Indiana. She holds LCPC and LMHC credentials and brings 24 years of experience to sessions. She encourages people who are ready to make a change and offers steady, practical support.

Nicole helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include body image, abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and domestic violence recovery.

Her work is grounded in a client-centered stance. That means she listens first, then helps people identify goals and steps that feel right for them. She uses concrete tools drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address thoughts, behaviors, and daily coping skills.

Nicole also draws on narrative ideas and motivational interviewing to help people make sense of their stories and find the motivation to change. She offers a mix of practical skill-building and reflective conversation so people learn both how to manage symptoms and why patterns keep repeating.

Her background includes roles at a domestic violence center, crisis lines, community mental health agencies, and a behavioral health hospital. She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University in 1999 and has been counseling since then. Nicole aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental partner as people work through difficult times.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is starting from, and helps people set goals that feel meaningful to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce stress and improve daily coping.

Navigating which approach will help most is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying practical techniques, checking what helps, and shifting course when something isn’t useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone can fit a break at work or quieter moments, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or reminders. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life and different schedules.
