About Nicole

Nicole Woolery is an Ohio-licensed social worker with 14 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She blends practical tools and compassionate listening to help clients manage symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and clarify personal values. Nicole’s practice emphasizes building awareness, practicing mindfulness, and using evidence-informed strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her background spans hospital, community, school, and independent practice settings, with early work in inner-city schools and later roles providing psychosocial assessments and group therapy in medical environments.

Nicole employs a collaborative, strength-based style and draws from several therapeutic models including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She can integrate a Christian framework into counseling when clients prefer that perspective.

Nicole aims to empower clients to take practical steps toward a more meaningful life, addressing concerns such as family and parenting issues, grief, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, social anxiety, and somatization. Her work is focused on helping people develop skills to navigate emotions, relationships, and life purpose with greater clarity and resilience.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Nicole often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps clients clarify what matters most to them and learn skills to accept difficult thoughts while taking committed action toward personal values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, a practical approach for stress, mood concerns, and some trauma-related issues.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Nicole works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most helpful, adjusting interventions as progress unfolds so the plan stays responsive to each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and keep therapeutic momentum between live meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to these formats so clients continue building skills and tracking progress from wherever they are.
