About Nicole
Nicole VandeLinde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, addiction, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
Nicole uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She blends several therapeutic approaches to fit what a person needs in the moment rather than sticking to a single method. Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes and test them in everyday life.
Her faith is an important part of who she is, and she respects clients who wish to include faith perspectives in their work together. She also works with people who prefer secular therapy and adapts interventions accordingly. Nicole emphasizes clear steps and regular check-ins so progress is visible and measurable.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, then introduces specific skills to interrupt those patterns. That might include developing new ways to respond to triggers, practicing behavioral experiments, or clarifying personal values to guide choices. She helps people break large problems into manageable tasks.
Nicole asks clients to set concrete goals and to try brief exercises between sessions. She checks on what worked and adjusts the plan as needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to outline priorities and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Nicole commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative responses through small experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that come from repeating thought patterns. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people clarify what matters and take steps that align with those values even when emotions are difficult.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will review goals and current struggles with a client and suggest which methods to try first. She tracks progress and changes the plan if a different approach looks more useful, so therapy remains practical and focused on what the client wants to accomplish.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Many people find it helpful to practice skills in daily life between sessions and then review those experiments together during scheduled meetings.
