Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Fees vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model, so clients can review costs before they commit.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Nicki combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools to help people make concrete changes. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting your concerns, and shaping goals you actually want. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors and use small experiments or new skills to reduce distress.Motivational interviewing is used when ambivalence or readiness to change gets in the way. It helps people clarify reasons for change and find motivation that fits their life. These approaches are commonly applied to stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma-related problems and can be adapted to individual needs.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicki will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed over time.
Confirm the specific session options before booking so you know what formats are available.
