Nicole Pyfer, LPC - Therapist in Colorado

About Nicole

Nicole Pyfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family concerns, and coping with major life changes. Nicole keeps sessions straightforward and practical so parents can process hard moments without extra jargon.

She aims to help people spot patterns that keep causing pain and find clearer ways forward. Nicole uses a systems perspective to look at how early family dynamics shape current behavior.

Background and approach

She pays attention to patterns rooted in childhood that still affect decisions today. That helps clients understand why they react certain ways and how to change those responses. Her work includes supporting people who have experienced trauma and also those who struggle with causing harm to others.

She listens for how guilt, shame, or past wounds influence choices. From there she helps build skills for healthier interactions and better self-understanding. Nicole blends Client-Centered work with evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps that can be used at home. Her training includes a Master’s Degree in Counseling: Clinical Mental Health and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.

Nicole treats people with respect and compassion and works to tailor therapy to each family's needs.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Nicole often draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. That approach helps clients feel heard and build confidence to make changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and teaches new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her work when relationships and attachment patterns are central; it helps people understand and shift the way they connect with others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk about goals and preferences in early sessions and together decide which methods to try. She adapts techniques based on what is most useful for a person or family and revisits the plan as needs change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work between meetings. For many people, the flexibility of online sessions supports consistency and lets them apply new skills in real time at home.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
