01About Nicole
Nicole VandeLinde is a Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to help people move from feeling stuck to finding clearer direction. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and issues tied to parenting or intimacy. Nicole writes plainly and listens closely to learn what matters most to each person.
She draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to fit individual needs, including acceptance-based and cognitive strategies as well as emotionally-focused work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical next steps, clearer communication, and building coping tools that can be used between meetings. Nicole also brings faith-based values into care when a person wants that included. Nicole has spent about 10 years supporting people through life transitions, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.
Her background includes working with both individuals and family situations to address common patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress. She uses plain language and short-term goals to help people see progress. In sessions she practices active listening and helps people set manageable goals.
Conversations often include examining thoughts and behaviors, trying new ways of relating, and practicing small changes that add up. Nicole encourages steady steps rather than sudden overhauls. People who reach out can expect a collaborative process where faith can be included or not, depending on their preference.
Her work aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase day-to-day coping so people regain more control and hope.

04Online support
How Nicole uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that create a more meaningful life when emotions feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches skills to change those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, concentrates on how people connect and respond in relationships and can help improve communication and closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls are good for longer conversations and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options allow flexibility to schedule sessions around work, childcare, or other commitments.
