About Nicole
Nicole Schellinger is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina (LPC). She has been counseling since 2006 and brings 18 years of experience. Nicole works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and anger among other concerns.
She keeps sessions focused and practical. Nicole uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches. She helps clients set clear goals and picks techniques that fit each person’s situation.
Nicole’s background includes undergraduate study in addictions from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Lindsey Wilson College. Much of her early work was in community behavioral health settings where she supported people with addiction, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns.
In recent years she has provided remote sessions and has experience helping people manage life changes, grief, sleep and eating problems, career stress, and mood disorders. Her approach emphasizes straightforward conversation about what’s getting in the way and practical steps to change patterns of thinking and behavior.
People who want concrete strategies for managing anger, improving communication, or reducing impulsive responses may find her style useful. She works with individual adults and asks clients to define the goals they want to work toward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values, useful for frustration and recurring resentment.She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy by listening closely and using that feedback to shape sessions. That means the therapist and client decide together which methods fit best, and adjustments are made as goals evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people find phone sessions use less bandwidth and are simpler for quick appointments, while video sessions allow more visual feedback during skill practice. Nicole will collaborate with each client to choose approaches and practical arrangements that support their goals.
