About Nicole
Nicole Woolery is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, ADHD, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her style is practical and calm, focused on small steps that fit everyday life.
She has worked in schools, hospitals, community programs, and independent practice. Early work in inner-city schools shaped her approach to trauma and at-risk youth. Later roles included hospital-based psychosocial assessments and group work with adults.
Background and approach
Nicole adapts treatment to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. Sessions emphasize values, purposeful action, and simple strategies to reduce distress.
She draws on a strength-based, solution-focused mindset in sessions. That means identifying what already works, building on strengths, and setting clear, doable goals. Nicole can also integrate a Christian-informed perspective when clients ask for faith-based support.
Expect conversations that balance practical skill-building with space to process emotions. Nicole aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and make choices that match their values. She supports gradual change so improvements are manageable and lasting.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and then testing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms. That approach often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and ADHD-related routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This means trying specific skills in sessions and checking what helps most for everyday life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people do shorter check-ins, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to sustain regular contact with licensed professionals and keep momentum toward goals.
