Nicole Onorato Hunter, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Nicole

Nicole Onorato Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, trauma, and a range of other life challenges. Nicole brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work and speaks English.

Nicole uses a direct yet compassionate style. Sessions aim to be practical and clear. She helps clients identify patterns, reframe unhelpful beliefs, and build small habits that support emotional health.

Background and approach

Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to challenge thoughts and shift behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy guides conversations about how past relationships affect current ones.

Mindfulness strategies help manage stress and improve focus. Nicole also integrates the Gottman Method for relationship work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when values and commitment help guide change. She mixes these tools to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

In sessions she works with adults ages 18 and up. Practical skills, short-term goals, and ongoing emotional growth are common focuses. Parents seeking support for family and parenting concerns can expect a straightforward plan and concrete strategies to try between meetings.

Nicole holds Georgia LPC licensure (CO LPC LPC.0018202, GA LPC LPC010145) and uses a matching process to begin work. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, with subscription billing that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that cause distress and teaching practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current bonds and communication, which helps with relationship and family concerns.

She also draws on Mindfulness techniques to teach simple breathing and attention practices that reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking. These methods are described plainly in sessions and paired with small exercises to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and daily life. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to connect from home. The variety of formats also allows for brief check-ins or longer therapy sessions depending on what a client needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
