About Nicole

Nicole Wilbur is an LMSW with 19 years of clinical experience in medical and community settings, including hospitals, hospice, homecare, palliative care, brain injury services, and schools.

Background and approach

She has supported people across the lifespan with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, autism and learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and chronic medical challenges. Her background also includes group work, professional education, and community workshops that reinforce practical skills and resilience.

Her therapeutic manner is warm and interactive, blending client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. She often draws on mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mind-body approaches to help clients build on strengths and address specific difficulties.

Treatment is individualized, with an emphasis on clear goals, communication skills, and real-world tools to improve functioning and relationships. Nicole frames therapy as a collaborative process that meets people where they are and supports gradual change.

She invites clients to explore coping strategies, improve interpersonal patterns, and develop sustainable habits that align with personal values and life demands.

Practical approaches for online therapy and coping skills

Many clients benefit from a combination of approaches, and Nicole commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and impulse-related issues. Mindfulness therapy involves cultivating present-moment awareness and gentle self-observation to reduce reactivity and support stress management; it pairs well with work on trauma, chronic illness coping, and attention challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what methods feel most helpful, adjusting strategies over time so the plan reflects the client's changing needs and priorities.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, or health limitations, and they allow therapists to use practical exercises, skill-building, and brief check-ins that fit into everyday life.
