Hi! I’m Nicole 🙂
I’m a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP, LPC) based in Lincoln, Nebraska. I’ve been in private practice since 2014, and I’m glad you’re here.
I am licensed in Nebraska as a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (NE License #2662), Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (NE License #4471) and Professional Counselor (NE License #2175). You can view those here: LIMHP, LMHP, PC.
My Approach
My work is grounded in creating a warm, safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are. I use a blend of evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs, including: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, reality therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, strength-based and trauma-focused approaches.
Whether you’re coming because of anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, grief, or life-stage changes — or because you’re seeking growth in your relationships — I’d love to partner with you. I also specialize in marital and premarital work, including a research-based 6 to 8 session course to help couples build lifelong skills for connection.
I work with adults — for both individuals and couples.
Why I Do This
I believe that choosing to reach out for help is one of the most courageous things a person can do. My mission is simple: to help you feel seen, heard, and supported — so you have the space and tools to build the change you’re ready for. I want therapy to feel like a partnership, where you and I collaborate on your goals, at your pace.
What You Can Expect
- A friendly, genuine professional environment — easy to talk to, but always respectful of your story.
- Collaborative goal-setting: together we’ll decide what matters most to you and how to get there.
- Practical tools + supportive reflection: You’ll learn strategies you can use outside our sessions.
- Options to meet your life: I offer both in-person sessions in Lincoln and telehealth appointments.
- No one-size-fits-all. Your life is unique, and so is our work together.
A Bit About My Background
- Master’s in Counseling from Doane University (2012) and licensed in Nebraska in 2014.
- Over a decade of clinical experience, starting in a general clinic setting and then in private practice.
- My specialties include marital/premarital work, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, grief, self-esteem and life transitions.
- I accept a variety of insurance plans and can discuss options during our first contact.
