About Nicole
Nicole Williams is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with 20 years of counseling experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, family and relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and addiction. Nicole also addresses a wide range of related topics like grief, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She trained at Northern Vermont University where she completed a master's degree in counseling and holds dual licensure in mental health and school counseling from that program. Her career includes private practice, community mental health, and school-based counseling, so she has seen concerns in multiple settings over two decades.
Nicole uses practical, skill-focused methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused work, combined with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. In sessions she emphasizes concrete strategies - not just talk - so people can notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. The work often includes short exercises, behavior experiments, and mindful awareness practices.
Her practice incorporates trauma-informed principles and looks at existing supports in a person’s life. Sessions aim to strengthen everyday coping skills and reduce distress tied to specific problems like panic, grief, or caregiver stress. Nicole describes herself as someone who values humor and ordinary pleasures as one part of recovery and resilience.
To begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Nicole applies CBT and related methods in online work
Nicole draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include simple homework, brief behavior experiments, and tracking patterns that contribute to anxiety, panic, or low mood.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and clear reflection, helping people clarify goals. Mindfulness therapy shows people how to use present-moment awareness to reduce rumination and manage stress in small steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking what feels doable, adjusting plans, and trying different tools over time rather than assuming a single method will be best.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier scheduling and fitting brief check-ins into a busy day. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to use homework that connects directly with everyday life.
