About Nicole

Nicole Onorato Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who brings 12 years of clinical experience to work with adults.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, and a range of related areas including attachment, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes training in multiple evidence-informed approaches and a history of supporting clients through life transitions and complex emotional struggles.

Her style blends directness with compassion, inviting clients to explore personal narratives and identify patterns that influence how they think, feel, and relate. She uses practical tools to reframe unhelpful beliefs, strengthen coping skills, and build healthier routines that support emotional and physical wellbeing.

Nicole prefers a collaborative, relational approach that emphasizes self-discovery, meaning-making, and sustainable change while honoring each person’s values and goals. Nicole’s practice integrates therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness techniques.

She offers sessions in multiple online formats and tailors interventions to match individual needs and preferences, helping clients develop resilience and clearer pathways forward.

Approaches and Online Therapy with Practical Focus



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed actions toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping people develop more supported ways of relating.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider their goals, preferences, and life context and then tailor methods that fit best. That partnership helps ensure interventions feel relevant and workable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats support ongoing skill practice, regular check-ins, and varied ways to communicate so clients can engage in therapy in the way that suits them best.
