About Nicole
Nicole Deisher is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) licensed in Ohio with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, anger, and other life changes. Her practical focus is on helping people reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways of handling problems.
She approaches sessions with a straightforward style. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions include talking through current problems, learning specific skills, and setting small, achievable steps to try between meetings.
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Mindfulness Therapy to increase present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to clarify goals and keep progress practical.
Her background includes work supporting people facing trauma, addiction, relationship problems, and parenting stress. She often helps with issues related to attachment, communication, control struggles, and grief. That experience informs how she helps clients develop new habits and coping strategies.
Sessions are meant to feel practical and down-to-earth. Nicole helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and notice small changes over time. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options provided.
How Nicole uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck and then practice new, more helpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger-related thinking.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style skills are practical tools for managing strong feelings and reducing reactive responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nicole will collaborate with the client to test methods, adjust techniques, and keep goals realistic. She aims to match strategies to the person’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to one fixed method.
