Nicole Gill , LPC

Nicole Gill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and life changes. Nicole offers straightforward support for identity concerns and intimacy-related issues, including LGBT matters and career or self-esteem challenges.

She uses a client-centered approach that starts with listening. Sessions aim to make sense of what feels overwhelming and to find workable steps forward. Nicole blends practical tools with deeper conversations about meaning and values.

Nicole also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. That approach is useful for sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related coping strategies. She teaches skills that people can use between sessions to reduce symptoms and handle day-to-day stressors.

Dialectical behavior therapy ideas appear in her work for managing intense emotion and improving communication. For relationship concerns she brings in principles from the Gottman Method to help people improve connection and solve recurring conflicts. Those tools are paired with attention to family of origin, abandonment, and commitment issues when they matter.

Clients can expect a practical, compassionate style that balances skills practice with exploration of values and life meaning. Nicole works with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image worries, dissociation, and the aftermath of trauma. She provides support for those navigating separation, aging concerns, and complex medical or co-morbid situations.

How Nicole’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. Online sessions use that same stance to help people feel heard and to identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms; online CBT often includes worksheets, homework, and short practice exercises between sessions to build new habits.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Nicole will work collaboratively to decide which approaches suit a person's goals and preferences. That might mean leaning more on skills-based CBT for sleep or anxiety, using DBT ideas for strong emotions, or exploring values and meaning when facing life transitions.

Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or skill practice during the week. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and use tools between meetings to support steady progress.
