About Nicole

Nicole Kindt is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience supporting families and parents through stressful transitions. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, relationship strain, and trauma. Nicole communicates plainly and aims to make difficult conversations easier to manage for parents and family members.

She uses approaches that fit each person rather than one fixed method. In sessions she listens first, helps set clear goals, and teaches skills families can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Parents often get coaching on communication, behavior strategies, and ways to reduce household stress. Nicole trained in marriage and family counseling and holds licenses as an LPC and an LCPC. Her background includes work with children, young adults, and family therapy settings, plus experience supporting people after loss, during divorce, or other life changes.

She has worked with survivors of abuse and people managing depression, anxiety, and anger. Her style is compassionate and straightforward. She aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and can try new ways of solving problems.

Sessions blend talking, skill practice, and step-by-step plans to address what matters most at home. Nicole tailors therapy to each family’s needs, adjusting techniques as challenges evolve. She helps clients build coping skills, improve communication, and manage emotions so everyday life feels more manageable.

Therapeutic tools used in online family care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so parents and family members feel heard. It helps people talk about hard things without judgment and figure out what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems and includes practical exercises to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful when strong reactions hurt relationships or make parenting harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will collaborate with each person or family to choose methods that match goals and needs. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what is not.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists see family interactions, phone sessions fit short windows, and live chat or text-based messaging work for brief check-ins and coaching. These options make it easier to get consistent support without long travel or scheduling barriers, while still focusing on practical skills for home life.

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.

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.
