About Nicole
Nicole Deisher is a licensed social worker in Ohio who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles. She brings a calm, straightforward style and focuses on helping clients build on their strengths. Nicole emphasizes collaboration and clear steps so people can see progress without feeling overwhelmed.
She uses evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address mood, anxiety, and coping skills.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also show up in sessions to help with focus, motivation, and staying present. Sessions are aimed at concrete changes such as better sleep habits, improved communication, and healthier coping with life transitions.
With 11 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and Licensed Independent Social Worker - LISW, Nicole draws on a range of clinical settings to shape practical strategies. Her background includes helping people with trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, and identity-related concerns. She frames therapy as partnership rather than instruction.
Therapy typically focuses on short-term goals and useful skills. Nicole helps clients break big problems into manageable steps and track progress. She encourages realistic practices that fit daily life.
Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The emphasis is on flexible, steady work toward clearer routines, stronger relationships, and more reliable emotional regulation.
Practical approaches for online family and parenting support
Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into specific patterns and offers step-by-step strategies for sleep, mood, and daily routines.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can help when strong feelings get in the way of parenting or relationships.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Nicole works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and life demands. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so work stays useful and achievable.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect that fit busy family life. Video calls let people work face to face from home, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and flexible touchpoints. This range helps parents and caregivers use therapy without rearranging their whole day, and keeps work focused on clear skills and small, steady changes.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
