About Nicole
Nicole Bebiak is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, trauma and identity-related issues. She also assists with attention differences, bipolar mood concerns, and issues tied to caregiving and burnout.
Nicole trained with a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology and has worked in a variety of settings since 1999. That includes crisis lines, a domestic violence center, community mental health agencies, and a behavioral health hospital. Those roles shaped a practical, skills-based approach to everyday problems.
Her work is client-centered. She listens first, then uses methods that fit the person and the problem. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and other approaches when they are useful.
Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new responses, and building clearer communication and coping habits. Nicole describes herself as a guide and sounding board who encourages clients to find their own solutions rather than handing out ready-made answers.
People who come for help can expect direct, practical work on problems such as low self-esteem, difficult relationships, parenting strain, grief, and recovery from abuse. Nicole also addresses specific concerns like abandonment, body image, blended family problems, and coping after disasters.
Her long experience across settings means she brings many tools to a session and adjusts methods as needed. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions so a person can try different responses and see what helps most.She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and reflecting, and mindfulness techniques that teach simple attention and breathing practices. Client-centered work keeps the conversation grounded in the person’s priorities, while mindfulness offers tools for managing stress and strong emotions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT exercises, adding motivational interviewing to build readiness, or using narrative techniques to reframe a problem.
Confirm which online session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel time so people can use a break at work or home. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, skills practice, and communication work to an online setting to keep progress moving.
