About Nickole

Nickole Wyse is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on practical skills parents and families often need. Nickole speaks plainly and helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, struggling with addiction, or facing relationship and family challenges.

She has worked in residential addiction treatment, in prisons, and with individuals online. That mix of settings shaped a hands-on approach to coping skills and behavior change.

Background and approach

She supports people who want to reduce substance use, stop self-harm, handle intense emotions, and replace harmful patterns with healthier choices. Nickole trained online for her degrees, earning a BA in Psychology and a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling before obtaining her Florida LMHC license, FL LMHC MH18325. Her background gives her both clinical training and practical experience across different environments.

Therapy with her starts by listening closely and responding without judgment. She uses a client-centered base and brings in tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing as needed. The aim is to increase self-understanding, build self-compassion, and develop useful routines.

Outside of work she enjoys crafts, reading, movies, and time with family. She keeps a relaxed, approachable manner in sessions and encourages curiosity and small, steady steps toward change.

How therapy approaches translate to online family and parenting support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and offering acceptance. The therapist creates space for parents and family members to talk through concerns and make decisions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect family life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean starting with a client-centered conversation and adding CBT exercises, emotion-focused work, mindfulness tools, or motivational interviewing over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. These formats let parents connect from home, follow up with messages between sessions, and pick the way of working that feels easiest. The focus is on practical strategies people can use day to day, delivered in a flexible online format that supports consistent progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
