About Nick

Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, and parenting challenges. He also supports people with ADHD, grief, intimacy questions, and issues connected to family of origin and attachment.

Nick uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns.

For parents, Nick has experience using play-based methods and Child-Parent Relationship Therapy ideas to strengthen connections with children. He has worked with children who have ADHD and with caregivers managing stress and chronic illness. He discusses medication questions openly when clients are exploring medical marijuana or other treatments in coordination with counseling.

Nick describes his work as collaborative. He helps people identify strengths and practical steps they can test between sessions. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and small changes that can reduce anxiety or improve communication.

He notes particular attention to identity and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer concerns in the regional context of Oklahoma. That includes coping with external stressors and building self-regard. People considering therapy are encouraged to complete the intake steps to connect about goals and expectations.

How Nick’s approaches translate to online work

Nick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try out small behavior changes. CBT is straightforward and often centers on practical exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions. He also relies on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people notice their own strengths. That approach supports collaborative conversations about goals and next steps. When emotional regulation is a central problem, Nick brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to build coping strategies. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nick will discuss goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most useful. He collaborates with each person to adjust methods as progress and needs evolve. The biography does not specify which session formats are currently offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people do skill practice in their usual daily settings, which can help transfer new habits into everyday routines.
