About Nicole
Nicole Reineri is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting and related issues including blended family challenges.
She trained in psychology and earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from Lindenwood University. Before becoming a counselor she worked in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, drug and alcohol addiction services, and applied behavior analysis. Her practicum included group work with at-risk high school students and individual crisis counseling.
Nicole uses an eclectic, person-centered approach. She helps people sort through thoughts, name feelings, and look at present experience. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral ideas, Emotionally-Focused techniques, and existential perspectives as tools to support change.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She may introduce exercises that encourage new ways of responding, teach skills for managing anxiety or cravings, and support clearer communication about difficult relationship topics. Work can include addressing attachment or abandonment concerns, intimacy questions, or challenges that come up in blended households.
Nicole also brings experience from teaching introductory psychology at the undergraduate level and working in diverse clinical settings. That background informs her focus on problem solving, coping skills, and realistic next steps.

How Nicole integrates therapy approaches in online work
Nicole commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical ways. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to act in line with them despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it can help with stress, long-term anxiety, and making life changes. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and teaches specific skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or problematic habits.She also draws from person-centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to prioritize the client’s experience and relationships. That means conversations often look at how emotions show up in interactions and what changes might improve closeness or communication. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation and preferences.
Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, since the biography did not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting someone choose not to use video when they prefer a lower-bandwidth call. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote work, including values-based tasks, thought records, and short behavioral experiments to practice between sessions.
