About Nicole
Nicole Wilbur is a licensed master social worker with 19 years of experience. She has worked in hospitals, homecare, hospice, palliative care, brain injury services, and schools. She meets people where they are and aims to make therapy clear and manageable for busy lives.
Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and substance use concerns. She has supported people facing grief, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and challenges tied to neurodiversity and learning differences.
Background and approach
Nicole also helps with relationship and communication struggles that come from these issues. Nicole uses a warm, interactive style in sessions. She blends client-centered listening with practical tools so conversations feel collaborative and useful.
Mindfulness and mind-body strategies are used alongside cognitive techniques to help with thinking patterns and daily coping. She focuses on building strengths and on skills that people can practice between sessions. That may include emotion regulation, communication exercises, or problem-solving steps tailored to each person’s life.
The plan changes as goals and needs evolve. Nicole has led groups, taught continuing education for professionals, and run workshops for community members. She brings that wide practice background to one-on-one work, aiming to make progress feel realistic and relevant.
She invites people to take the next step toward change when they are ready.
How these approaches work for online sessions
Nicole blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness strategies to help with practical problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors and teach steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Mindfulness strategies teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for stress and ADHD-related challenges.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Nicole will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she works together with the client to try methods and adjust the plan over time so it fits real life and evolving needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and demonstrating practices. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, updates, or working through small steps between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other responsibilities.
