About Nick

Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting challenges including blended family issues.

He uses straightforward, collaborative work in sessions. He asks questions, listens to what matters most, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. He leans on Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices when they fit the situation.

Nick has experience supporting people facing trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also helps with sexual culture concerns like BDSM and kink, body image, abandonment issues, and communication problems. He mentions working with parenting strains, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the practical demands that come with life changes.

For parents, he has experience with play therapy and Child Parent Relationship Therapy and works with children who have ADHD. He is open to discussing medication choices such as medical marijuana in the context of therapy and how those choices interact with coping strategies.

Sessions are conducted in English and he practises in Oklahoma. Nick emphasizes a practical, person-focused style aimed at finding what works day to day rather than relying on jargon or promises.

How his approaches translate to online work

Nick commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they can clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person and adapt methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and current concerns. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skill practice, mindfulness, or deeper existential questions.

The biography does not list which online formats are available, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist and client can choose approaches and pacing that fit everyday schedules while focusing on practical changes and coping strategies.
