About Nichole
Nichole Proulx is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Maine with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people managing anxiety, depression, high stress, relationship and family concerns, and those facing life transitions. Her practice also addresses trauma, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues, among other difficulties.
She often helps people untangle patterns that began in childhood, including family of origin issues and attachment concerns. Nichole uses practical conversation and skills-based work to improve communication, reduce reactivity, and support clearer decision making. She adapts her style depending on whether someone needs questions framed or space to talk.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered methods. Sessions include skills practice, values clarification, and short-term problem-solving alongside deeper reflection about relationships and life roles.
Nichole emphasizes direct, honest work and sometimes uses light humor when appropriate. She aims to help people identify strengths and build habits that change day-to-day functioning. Therapy can include addressing blended family concerns, infidelity, communication problems, dissociation, and mood or panic symptoms.
She holds an ME LMFT credential and has worked in counseling since 2008. People who are considering therapy are invited to follow the site flow to view online therapy options, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for people coping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions who want concrete steps tied to what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then teaches practical skills to change behaviors and mood. CBT is often used for panic, mood disorders, sleep or eating concerns, and stress management.
Nichole treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what is working.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also let people work with a licensed professional from their own community while focusing on communication skills, managing reactivity, and building everyday habits.
