About Niki
Niki Mullis is a North Carolina licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and build self-esteem. She also supports clients who are coping with life changes and looking for clearer direction.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try different ways of responding. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions focus on small, actionable steps clients can try between meetings.
Niki emphasizes clear goals and steady progress. She listens for patterns that keep causing the same problems and works with clients to test new behaviors. For relationship concerns she uses tools from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict.
She brings client-centered principles to keep the sessions focused on what matters most to each person. That means the conversation and pace are guided by the client’s priorities rather than a rigid checklist. EMDR is listed among her approaches for people who have trauma-related memories they want to address.
Work with her typically includes check-ins on progress and adjustments to the plan as needed. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on concrete links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT tend to involve identifying specific thought patterns, testing them with real-life experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences influence current reactions. In remote sessions this can mean identifying recurring patterns in close relationships and trying different communication or boundary strategies to shift those patterns.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client's priorities central. In online meetings the therapist follows the client's lead while offering reflective listening and problem-solving suggestions that fit the client's goals.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the options, consider the client's goals and preferences, and recommend methods to try. That recommendation may change as progress is tracked and new needs emerge.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, reduce travel time, and fit sessions into a workday. Some clients find video helpful for practicing communication skills while others prefer shorter audio check-ins to focus on quick coping strategies.
