Nicole Woolery, LISW

Nicole Woolery is an Ohio independently licensed social worker (LISW) with 14 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, parenting and family concerns. Nicole also lists blended family issues and communication problems among her focus areas.

She writes in plain, practical terms and uses a strengths-based, solution-focused, collaborative style. Sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Nicole can include Christian-based counseling when clients request it.

Her early work was in inner-city schools and integrated care settings, where she supported people dealing with trauma and complex stressors. She later provided psychosocial assessments and group therapy in a hospital setting. Nicole began private practice in 2015 and has experience across school, hospital, community, and office environments.

In session she helps people notice what matters to them and learn practical tools. That can mean identifying values, practicing mindfulness, or testing new thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and improve coping. She also addresses parenting stresses and relationship patterns that affect daily life in stephouseholds.

Nicole uses goal-focused steps and plain feedback. She often pairs short-term strategies with skills that build over time. People who want a counselor who is direct about options and methods tend to find this approach useful.
