About Nicole
Nicole Gill is a licensed professional counselor who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress and major life changes. She keeps sessions grounded and practical. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps a person can try between meetings.
Nicole has 16 years of experience and works from Colorado as a licensed professional counselor - LPC. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
Nicole also supports people dealing with identity questions, intimacy issues, sleep problems, and career stress. She draws on a mix of methods to match the problem at hand, including cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness-influenced skills. Nicole uses clear techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
For worry and mood concerns she may use CBT - cognitive behavioral therapy - to identify thoughts and test them in real life. For emotional regulation and distress tolerance she may teach DBT - dialectical behavior therapy - skills. She also integrates client-centered principles, listening first and shaping goals from the client’s priorities.
When relationship work is needed she applies strategies informed by the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. Nicole has worked for more than a decade and a half in varied clinical settings. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
Practical tools, steady support, and collaborative planning guide her work.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Nicole often uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which many people find useful for stress, sleep issues, and daily routines.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - skills to help with strong emotions and impulsive reactions. DBT teaches techniques for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try approaches that fit your needs, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Together you decide which tools to use and when to shift direction.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide day-to-day check-ins and brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and to keep working on goals from wherever you are.
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.
