About Nicole
Nicole Forester is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She offers calm, nonjudgmental listening and encourages clients to speak honestly about what they are feeling. Nicole aims to make early sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client.
Nicole draws on 16 years of experience across inpatient units, addiction recovery, outpatient services, and hospice work.
Background and approach
She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and also trained in music therapy. Those settings gave her experience with crisis work, dual-diagnosis treatment, and end-of-life support. In sessions she uses practical approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
She also uses client-centered skills to create space for emotion, and emotionally-focused ideas when relationship repair is needed. Nicole explains options plainly and helps people choose what fits them. Her style is direct but warm.
She invites clients to be as open as they feel comfortable and treats each conversation as a chance to hear the client’s own voice. Nicole encourages questions and sees the first meetings as an opportunity to find the right fit. Nicole provides online care from Colorado and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, fills a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a session.
Therapeutic approaches and online practice
Nicole commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts or feelings without getting stuck, and take small actions toward their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns that worsen symptoms and then tests new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress.She also draws on client-centered techniques to create space for emotion and to help clients feel heard. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to talk about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan when something does not fit.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging works for brief updates or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still working with licensed professionals.
