About Nicki

Nicki Nichols is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 16 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addiction, and trauma. She combines compassionate care with a straightforward emphasis on honesty and accountability, helping clients build practical coping skills and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Her clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET). She is also an EMDR therapist in training and has background in work with substance use as an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. These evidence-based methods are applied to issues ranging from mood disorders and trauma to addiction and family dynamics.

Nichols offers sessions by video, phone, and messaging, and maintains a part-time schedule with more consistent weekend availability and variable weekday openings. Weekday evening appointments are scheduled after 6:00 pm, and Wednesdays are reserved for text-based sessions only. If scheduling or clinical needs do not align, she will assist in requesting an appropriate referral so clients can find the right fit.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Nicki Nichols draws on several evidence-based approaches to meet clients where they are and support change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client s experience and goals guide the work - this approach helps with many concerns from relationship struggles to life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new skills and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method designed to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which is especially useful for addictions and behavior change challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nichols works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting her approach as progress unfolds. She aims to create clear treatment goals and involve clients in decisions about which techniques to use.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or long-distance clients. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions and maintain momentum while coordinating care with daily life and other responsibilities.
