About Nicki
Nicki Nichols is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and addiction. She also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, attachment, and blended family issues.
Nicki uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to listen and clarify what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete coping skills.
Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people are trying to change habits related to substance use or other patterns. Trauma-focused strategies are used when past events continue to affect daily life. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and steps that can be practiced between meetings.
Nicki offers sessions by phone, messaging, and video, with some weekday evening availability and more consistent weekend times. She notes that one weekday is limited to text-only sessions. International clients may be accepted and sessions are delivered in English.
Her practice emphasizes honesty and accountability alongside respectful listening. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can learn about their immediate concerns and priorities.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person decide what matters most. In online sessions this usually means the therapist reflects concerns, helps set priorities, and supports practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and builds specific skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior; it often includes short exercises to try between sessions and clear behavioral goals. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh their reasons to change and strengthens commitment by exploring values and ambivalence in a nonjudgmental way.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on how helpful they are. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively what feels most useful and what to focus on next.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. The therapist has offered phone, messaging, and video sessions, and has noted one weekday limited to text-only sessions. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose a mode that fits their day. Confirm current formats and scheduling details when you arrange your first appointment.
