About Nichole
Nichole Proulx is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Maine with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, high stress, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. She also addresses addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, and attention-related problems.
Nichole typically draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing when those approaches fit the issue. Sessions focus on practical strategies, clearer communication, and building skills people can use between meetings.
Her work includes supporting people through family conflict, blended family issues, divorce or separation, and struggles rooted in family of origin. She helps with attachment concerns, dissociation, infidelity, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Nichole addresses mood-related conditions such as bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and broader mood disorders.
She brings a direct and reflective style to sessions. She may ask focused questions when someone needs structure, and listen more when someone needs space. She uses humor when appropriate and expects practical participation in change-focused work.
Nichole asks new clients to use the online matching and scheduling flow to begin. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How cognitive and acceptance approaches guide online work
Nichole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns that increase stress or anxiety and then try small behavioral experiments to see what changes. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts or feelings, clarify values, and take actions that matter even when emotions are uncomfortable.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and early progress and then adjust methods together. That process lets them try practical tools and keep what works while setting aside what does not.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. They also make it possible to practice skills in real-life settings and bring examples from daily routines directly into the session.
