About Nicole

Nicole Reineri is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, career questions, and life changes. She also supports people navigating LGBT issues, bipolar disorder, attachment and abandonment concerns, and a range of family and communication problems.

Before counseling, she worked in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, drug and alcohol addiction, and applied behavior analysis. She completed her practicum at a high school, running groups for at-risk students and offering individual crisis support. She has also taught undergraduate introductory psychology at Jefferson College.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and existential ideas. In practice she helps people sort thoughts, name feelings, and look at patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions aim to build coping skills, clarify values, and try new ways of responding.

Nicole describes therapy as a collaborative process. She uses person-centered and solution-focused techniques alongside ACT and some Gestalt tools to challenge and support clients toward practical change. She emphasizes acceptance and intentional focus rather than quick fixes.

People who come to her often want clearer direction after a big life change, relief from anxiety or depression, help with intimate or family conflicts, or support with addiction and grief. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take committed steps in that direction. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and confusion about life choices.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting the person’s own problem solving. This approach is useful when someone needs to sort through feelings and gain confidence in their decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills training.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about the available session options during the matching and scheduling steps so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
