01About Nicole
Nicole Schellinger brings 18 years of counseling experience to her practice. She holds a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling and is licensed as an LPCC in Ohio and an LPC in South Carolina. Nicole writes in a direct, warm way and aims to make sessions feel constructive and respectful of each person’s pace.
She keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change. Nicole listens first and then works together with the client to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
She uses parts of several approaches to fit the person in front of her rather than forcing a single method. Nicole has long experience helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction concerns. She also supports those facing stress, relationship difficulty, grief, problems with sleep or eating, and attention challenges.
Her background includes community behavioral health work and studies in addictions and mental health counseling. In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused methods, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based ideas. That looks like noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing changes in small steps, and practicing simple skills between meetings.
Nicole aims for straightforward work that people can apply to daily life. People who prefer a calm, direct style may find her approach helpful. She makes room for compassion while keeping the work goal-oriented.
Nicole invites clients to move at a pace that feels manageable for them.

04Online support
How Nicole’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client’s experience, offering empathic listening and support that helps people gain clarity and confidence.Finding the best method is a collaborative process. Nicole works with each person to try approaches that fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on how well they are helping and on client feedback.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video would be difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or problem-focused follow-ups between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try techniques in real time.
