Nicole Bebiak , LCPC, LMHC

Nicole Bebiak is a licensed counselor with 24 years of clinical experience who practices in Indiana. She holds LCPC and LMHC credentials - LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and brings a steady, experienced perspective to people navigating stress, relationships, mood concerns, trauma, and life transitions.

Nicole earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology and has worked across a variety of settings, including domestic violence services, crisis hotlines, community mental health agencies, and a private behavioral health hospital. That breadth of experience supports her work with depression, anxiety and panic, unhealthy relationship patterns, self-esteem struggles, emotional and physical abuse, suicidal ideation and self-harm, grief, parenting challenges, and the day-to-day problems that can accumulate and affect functioning.

Her core stance is client-centered: she meets people where they are and sees the whole person rather than reducing someone to a diagnosis. She draws from an eclectic toolbox - including cognitive and mindfulness techniques, dialectical skills, solution-focused strategies, play and sand tray work, psychoeducation, and crisis intervention - selecting interventions to fit each individual. Nicole aims to guide and support clients as they build coping skills, clarify goals, and reclaim a sense of agency in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Nicole practices from a client-centered foundation, placing the client’s needs and goals at the center of the work and adapting techniques to each person’s situation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, listening, and helping people find their own solutions - it is well suited for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and problem-solving skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, which can reduce rumination and support emotional regulation for anxiety, grief, and trauma symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Nicole will collaborate with each person to determine what methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and life context. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions so techniques feel useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic skills and supports as traditional sessions while accommodating individual needs.
