About Nicole
Nicole Lewandowski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting struggles. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Nicole uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also uses client-centered techniques to listen closely and DBT skills for emotional regulation when needed.
Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse as well as working alongside people on the autism spectrum and those with impulsivity or codependency concerns. Nicole has supported people dealing with caregiving stress, first responder issues, and identity topics related to LGBT concerns.
Sessions focus on concrete skills, short-term problem solving, and longer work when needed. Conversations are direct and collaborative, with practical homework between sessions when that helps progress. The aim is to reduce distress and build more effective daily routines.
People choosing Nicole can expect a straightforward approach that combines evidence-informed methods with listening. She asks about goals early and adapts the plan as progress is tracked over time.
How CBT and related methods work in online sessions
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize recurring thought patterns and test small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety or mood symptoms. CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, trying short experiments between sessions, and reviewing results together.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective and DBT-informed skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so goals are clearer. DBT skills training teaches concrete tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Nicole treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will discuss options, review how each method might fit the client's goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This keeps work practical and goal-focused rather than locked into one method.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to maintain steady progress while adapting homework and skill practice to everyday routines.
