01About Nicole
Nicole Palubniak is a licensed professional counselor practicing in New Jersey. She works with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, low self-esteem, and related struggles. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.
Nicole uses practical tools drawn from evidence-based approaches to help people manage symptoms and respond differently to old patterns. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings, plus checking what does and doesn’t help.
Background and approach
She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace when trying new strategies. With six years of clinical experience, Nicole blends several methods to meet individual needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going.
She also uses dialectical behavioral skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her work, too. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and sensations without immediate reaction.
Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by exploring values and small steps forward. Nicole helps people address a wide range of concerns including grief, relationship and communication problems, addictions, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, adoption and foster care topics, and dissociation.
Her approach aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Nicole commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicole will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and daily life. She explains options clearly and tries small steps so clients can see what works for them.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people work face to face when that helps. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is an issue or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and let people share thoughts between sessions. These options help clients access therapy around work, family responsibilities, and other commitments.
