About Nicole
Nicole Woolery is an independently licensed social worker in Ohio with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and issues that touch relationships, parenting, and career concerns. She also supports people coping with ADHD, bipolar challenges, grief, and life changes.
Nicole draws on practical, down-to-earth methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions focus on clear skills - noticing patterns, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and practicing small behavioral changes.
Her background includes hospital work, community and school settings, and private practice. Early in her career she worked in inner-city schools with at-risk students. That experience shaped how she approaches trauma and family strain in later work with adults and adolescents.
In clinical work she emphasizes strengths, solutions, and collaboration. That looks like setting concrete goals, trying brief experiments between sessions, and using mindfulness and values work to reduce reactivity and build steady habits. She can incorporate a Christian perspective when clients request it.
Nicole offers assessment and group therapy experience from hospital settings and ongoing individual practice since 2015. People come to her for practical strategies for anger, communication problems, parenting stress, and to reduce the hold of painful memories.

Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act toward what matters. It is often used for anger, anxiety, and life changes where values-based action helps reduce reactivity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, low mood, anger, and changing habitual responses to stress.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the client sets goals and pace. This approach supports people who need a steady, validating presence while they try new strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That means a few early sessions may focus on assessment and short experiments to see what fits best.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that match daily routines.
