About Nicole
Nicole Woolery is an independently licensed social worker, LISW, licensed in Ohio with 14 years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, parenting struggles, grief, relationship and family problems, ADHD, and career concerns. She also addresses blended family issues, commitment and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Her background spans hospitals, schools, community settings, and private practice. Nicole began working in inner-city schools with at-risk children and later provided psychosocial assessments and group work in hospital settings. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in a range of clinical contexts.
Nicole uses practical, collaborative methods that focus on strengths and solutions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her approach where useful.
Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments to change patterns that cause distress. She emphasizes awareness, cognitive defusion, and identifying values so people can make choices that matter to them. For those who want faith integrated, she can include a Christian-based perspective in sessions.
Nicole started her private practice in 2015 after years in schools and hospitals. Her experience includes work with trauma and integrated care that combines mental and physical health considerations. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats directly with the practice.
How CBT, ACT and client-centered work in online sessions
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so practical experiments can be planned and reviewed in sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying values and taking committed steps toward them even when difficult feelings are present. ACT practices often include behavioral exercises and acceptance strategies that fit into daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach when people need space to reflect. That method emphasizes listening and helping clients find their own solutions rather than teaching fixed answers.
Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which approaches match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Adjustments are made as work progresses so sessions remain practical and focused.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone use depending on what works best for the client.
