About Nick
Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. He works with adults, teens, and children on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, and parenting challenges.
He uses clear, goal-focused methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between appointments. He also supports LGBTQ people coping with stress and identity-related concerns in the Oklahoma context.
Nick draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches to address how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. He adds tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. For parents he uses play-based methods and Child Parent Relationship Therapy to help parents connect and change patterns with their children.
He acknowledges that medications, including medical marijuana, can be part of some people’s plans. He discusses medication openly and works alongside whatever medical supports a person is using while focusing on counseling and coping strategies.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Nick helps clients set clear goals, practice new skills, and track progress. He prefers straightforward language and concrete steps over jargon, so people leave with specific strategies to try between sessions.
How CBT and Related Methods Look Online
Nick commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered techniques in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered work emphasizes the person's own goals and lets them guide which issues to focus on.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when strong emotions or crisis coping are present. DBT teaches practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving how someone responds to tough moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences, and can combine CBT, client-centered ideas, and DBT skills when helpful.
