About Nicole
Nicole Woolery is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 14 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and family concerns. She also helps with relationship and communication problems, blended family issues, and work-related strain.
Nicole favors a practical, strengths-based style. She works collaboratively and focuses on clear, achievable steps. Sessions often look at values, mindfulness skills, and strategies to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
Her background includes work in hospitals, schools, community settings, and private practice. Early in her career she provided services in inner-city schools to at-risk children and later focused on trauma, integrated mental and physical health, and psychosocial assessment in hospital settings.
Since starting private practice in 2015 she has continued to see a range of ages. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside solution-focused and client-centered methods. She can incorporate a Christian-based approach when a client requests that perspective.
Nicole describes therapy as a process of increasing awareness, learning mindfulness, and clarifying what matters to each person. She supports people as they build skills for coping, reconnecting with values, and moving toward a more meaningful life.
How therapy approaches and online work fit together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, connect with personal values, and take small steps toward a meaningful life. It often helps with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce worry and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses listening and reflection to build self-understanding and motivation. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan together. Clients often combine mindfulness, ACT, and CBT techniques based on what helps most. This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions that avoid travel time, or choosing a less visual format when needed. Online work can support consistent progress by letting people attend from locations that reduce interruptions and better match daily life, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions to meet goals.Areas of expertise
