About Nicole

Nicole Cheleotis is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and brings eight years of clinical practice in Florida. Her work centers on practical steps people can use right away.

Nicole aims to be a steady partner during stressful times and life transitions. She creates a calm, accepting space where clients can name what’s hard and learn skills to feel better.

Background and approach

Trust and teamwork guide her sessions. Nicole leans on evidence-based methods and adapts them to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that make feelings worse.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life. Mindfulness practices and client-centered techniques round out her toolbox so work can be both practical and person-focused. Families and parenting topics are among the areas she addresses, along with communication problems, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and caregiver stress.

She also supports people facing identity and relationship concerns such as gender dysphoria and LGBT-related challenges. Sessions may include talking, guided exercises, and simple at-home practices to build coping skills. Nicole works at a steady pace, helping people move from feeling overwhelmed to more in control of day-to-day life.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so the person feels heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a gentle, steady place to talk and work through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress because it gives clear exercises and step-by-step practice.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps process painful memories that continue to cause distress. When trauma memories affect daily functioning, this approach offers a structured way to lessen their impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole collaborates with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly to make sure the pace and techniques feel helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to maintain continuity during transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver talking therapy, guided exercises, and homework assignments that support steady 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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
