About Nicole

Nicole (Nikki) OHerien helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or addiction. She also supports those facing life changes, questions about life purpose, and issues that commonly affect women. Nikki uses a straightforward, warm style and invites people to speak honestly about what they are feeling.

Nikki is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - based in New York with four years of professional experience.

Background and approach

She aims to make sessions feel like a calm, judgment-free conversation. Clients can expect to be heard first, and then to work together on practical steps that match their goals. Her approach mixes client-centered listening with goal-focused techniques.

That means Nikki starts by understanding each person's values and priorities, then introduces strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses tools that support motivation and short-term problem solving when those fit the situation. In sessions she focuses on clear, doable changes.

Conversations often include setting small goals, practicing new ways of thinking, and checking progress between meetings. The tone is encouraging and solution-minded, while also making space for harder feelings. People who are nervous about beginning therapy will find direct language and simple next steps.

Nikki wants the first appointments to feel manageable. She encourages clients to move at a pace that feels right and to focus on what matters most to them.

Online support

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters to them before setting goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or goals shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief updates and exercises. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, keep momentum between meetings, and pick the format that feels most comfortable for different types of work.
