About Nichole

Nichole Proulx is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of clinical experience based in Maine. She blends a person-centered stance with evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, high stress, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical skills so individuals and couples can build on their strengths and navigate life transitions with clearer communication and healthier patterns.

Nichole has worked extensively with individuals, couples, and families across a broad range of concerns including mood and personality disorders, grief, addiction, ADHD, intimacy and sexual issues, parenting and blended family dynamics, and post-traumatic stress.

Her approach is flexible and warm, combining acceptance and commitment principles, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s goals. She aims to create a respectful, honest therapeutic relationship that balances reflection, direct feedback, and a bit of humor when appropriate.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building new behavioral skills to reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can assist with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist uses initial conversations to learn about goals, preferences, and presenting challenges, then combines methods to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single technique. Clients and the therapist work together to adjust the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility around scheduling and location. These formats allow people to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments through messaging options.
