About Nicki
Nicki Nichols is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and addiction. She also focuses on concerns related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.
Nicki uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep people feeling stuck. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone needs help finding internal reasons to change.
Her background includes long-term counseling in community and clinical settings across concerns like chronic illness, chronic pain, and substance use. She has experience addressing communication problems, commitment and control issues, and the effects of divorce and separation. That background shapes how she breaks down complex problems into manageable steps.
In conversation she values honesty and accountability. Sessions tend to involve setting specific goals, practicing new skills, and checking progress between meetings. She accepts clients internationally and provides services in English.
Practical matters such as session timing and formats are discussed when someone connects. Nicki asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can confirm fit and plan a way forward together.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and experiences. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the topics the client brings up. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort out what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions typically include short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. When arranged, online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people prefer video for face-to-face conversation, others find phone or messaging better for a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. The therapist will confirm which options she is offering when you complete the matching steps and schedule a first session.
