About Nicole
Nicole Deisher is an LCSW and LISW practicing in Ohio with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation challenges. Nicole also addresses addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.
She uses clear, structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused tools. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying concrete alternatives, and building practical skills for everyday life. Nicole encourages clients to notice patterns, test new responses, and track small changes between meetings.
Nicole views clients as experts on their own stories and looks for existing strengths to build on. She offers straightforward feedback and hands-on exercises rather than vague reassurance. Conversations move from what is happening now to specific steps that can reduce distress and improve functioning.
Her background includes work with people coping with trauma, family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and substance-related problems. She also has experience with attachment and personality-related difficulties, dissociation, and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.
Nicole provides practical goal-setting and motivational interviewing strategies when needed. She aims for measurable progress, such as clearer communication, better sleep routines, or fewer anxiety-driven behaviors. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Nicole’s approaches translate to online sessions
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in practical ways. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. DBT focuses on skill-building for emotion regulation and clearer communication, which can help with intense feelings and relationship patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Nicole will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust techniques based on what helps. The emphasis is on testing small changes and tracking progress together rather than committing to a single method up front.
Confirm the session formats available before you book, as the biography does not specify exact options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or remove travel time. They also let people use video, audio, or other permitted formats depending on what the therapist offers, which can help accommodate practical needs like quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or shorter session types.
