About Nicole
Nicole Saunders is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing with 21 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and related issues. Nicole is based in Florida and provides therapy in English.
Nicole focuses on helping people notice the patterns that come from earlier family life and how those patterns affect current relationships and choices. She talks through relationship problems, parenting stress, sleep and anger concerns, career pressures, and questions about intimacy and identity. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, and the impact of chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Her practice draws on several therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions typically involve talking through what feels most difficult now, learning practical skills, and trying new ways of responding to old habits.
Nicole asks new clients to complete an additional informed consent form before the first session. She offers some later evening hours on weekdays and limited weekend times. Fees vary by location and sessions use a cancelable subscription model.
To begin, visitors are asked to use the platform's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Nicole does not accept international clients and conducts work in English only.
How Nicole's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and decisions that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early family relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn different responses.Nicole uses a collaborative approach to decide which methods fit best. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then combine techniques that seem most helpful. That means sessions can include practical exercises, skills practice, and discussion about family of origin patterns as needed.
Specific session formats were not detailed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Many people find video sessions useful for face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can work when a quieter environment or lower bandwidth is needed. The therapist's schedule includes some later evenings and limited weekend times to help fit sessions into everyday life.
