About Nicole

Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is a licensed clinician who emphasizes attachment-based and client-centered work to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, and trauma. With nine years of practice, she blends evidence-informed methods to create space for exploration and healing, drawing on approaches such as DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness when appropriate.

Background and approach

Her style aims to help clients understand patterns, strengthen coping skills, and build greater emotional awareness. Licensed as an LCPC and LPC, Nicole has supported clients through a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, addictions, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, anger, and life transitions.

She also addresses more specific areas like attachment and abandonment wounds, caregiver stress, communication problems, gender dysphoria, and challenges related to chronic illness. Nicole frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping people identify goals and practical steps toward improved functioning and self-understanding.

Located in Florida and offering services in English, she accepts international clients and provides flexible session formats. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Integrating Attachment Work and Skills-Based Strategies Online

Nicole draws from attachment-based therapy to explore relational patterns and early bonds that shape how people relate to others; this approach helps clarify sources of insecurity, abandonment fears, and communication habits. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize empathic listening and collaboration, allowing clients to set the pace and goals of therapy in a supportive, nonjudgmental frame. When appropriate, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are introduced to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Nicole treats that choice as collaborative. She works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, then tailors methods and pacing to match what will be most helpful while staying responsive to changes over time.

Online therapy with her is offered through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can increase flexibility for people managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic limitations. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from locations that work best for the client.
