About Nick
Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He works with adults, teens, and children and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what matters most to them. Nick helps clients notice strengths and build practical skills they can use between sessions.
He leans on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that lead to better days. He also brings mindfulness and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or strong reactions get in the way of daily life. Nick has seven years of clinical experience in a variety of settings in Oklahoma.
That background includes work with parenting concerns, attention difficulties such as ADHD, grief, trauma, addictions, and identity-related stress for LGBT clients. He also supports people facing chronic health challenges, caregiver strain, body image issues, and workplace or career stress. In sessions he is practical and collaborative.
Parents can expect guidance about connection and play when working with children. He is open to discussing medication choices, including medical marijuana, as part of a broader plan that includes counseling and coping strategies. Nick offers a straightforward, down-to-earth approach.
He meets people where they are, helps them set realistic steps, and adjusts the work as goals shift over time.
Practical approaches for online care
Nick often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's lead so goals come from what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and tries small experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional overwhelm or strong reactions are a concern. DBT-style tools teach practical strategies for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in stressful moments. Together these approaches let him tailor the work to each person's needs and goals in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video calls let people use nonverbal cues and a longer conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer brief, written check-ins that can be helpful between longer sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can continue around work, school, caregiving, or other commitments.
