About Nicole

Nicole Williams is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with two decades of clinical experience. She trained in individual and family studies and completed a master’s in counseling with dual credentials in mental health and school counseling.

Background and approach

Over a varied career that includes independent practice, community mental health, and school-based counseling, she has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, ADHD, and other life transitions. Her therapeutic stance is trauma-informed and grounded in collaborative, client-centered care.

She integrates practical skill-building from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques alongside mindfulness and humanistic influences, shaping work that is adaptable to each person’s strengths and circumstances. Nicole emphasizes building trusting, non-judgmental relationships and drawing on existing supports to help clients explore identity, cope with challenges, and pursue meaningful change.

Outside of clinical work she values music, time with family and friends, and a sense of humor, all of which inform a warm, human approach to therapy. Nicole welcomes questions and aims to create sessions that balance compassion with practical strategies tailored to each client’s goals.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Nicole integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered principles into online work to offer both structure and empathy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for the client’s perspective and creates a supportive, non-judgmental space where goals and pacing are set collaboratively.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicole works with clients to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines practical strategies with empathic listening, adapting methods over time so that the work reflects each person’s priorities and life context.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to choose a format that matches a client’s schedule and communication style. These options support ongoing work between sessions and help maintain continuity when life circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor their methods to individual needs.
