About Nicole
Nicole Woolery is an independently licensed social worker, LISW, licensed in Ohio with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, life purpose, and related challenges.
Nicole uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness-based skills to slow things down and build awareness.
Her background spans hospital, community, school, and private practice settings. Early in her career she worked in inner-city schools with at-risk children, and later provided psychosocial assessments and group therapy in a hospital. That range informs how she works with adults facing change and stress.
In sessions Nicole emphasizes strengths and solutions. Conversations focus on actionable steps, reducing overwhelm, and using practical tools for coping. She can incorporate faith-based perspectives when a client requests a Christian-informed approach.
Nicole aims to help people increase awareness, practice cognitive diffusion, and identify values that matter to them. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, helping clients move from feeling stuck toward clearer next steps.
Because Ohio rules require an initial face-to-face meeting by video or phone for electronic services, she follows that process when working remotely. Prospective clients should confirm session options before scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches are used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values. In practice that means learning simple exercises to reduce fusion with thoughts and choosing small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and testing them with real-life behavioral experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and challenges that respond to skill practice and restructuring unhelpful beliefs.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods and see what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a practical process that may combine ACT, CBT, mindfulness skills, and motivational interviewing techniques over time.
Ohio rules require an initial video or phone meeting to verify identity for electronic service delivery, so an early session will use one of those formats. Prospective clients should confirm which session types are currently offered before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, let sessions fit around work or family commitments, and allow follow-up skill practice between meetings without requiring travel.
