About Nichole

Nichole Molnar is an Illinois LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with ten years of experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma, behavioral concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and stress management. Her practice also addresses issues such as self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and behavioral strategies to help people change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness techniques are part of her work to help clients notice thoughts and sensations and respond with more calm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills also appear in her approach when they fit the person’s needs.

Nichole aims to form a strong working relationship and plans treatment based on each individual’s situation. She believes people already have many of the skills they need, and therapy is a place to practice those abilities and build new ones. Sessions tend to include clear, practical steps and in-the-moment skills practice rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes work with people facing caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, commitment and control issues, communication problems, and family separation. She also brings experience supporting first responders, fathers, and those facing forgiveness and grief-related work.

People who meet with Nichole can expect collaborative goal-setting, skill-based sessions, and guidance on managing everyday stressors. To start, she asks clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters most and wants to start making choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and help a person respond more calmly to difficult moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews goals, symptoms, and preferences and then experiments with techniques together. If one method isn’t helping, adjustments are made so work stays relevant to the client’s life and goals.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when routines change. Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online meetings helpful for shorter check-ins, reducing travel time, or keeping therapy consistent during school or work transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt skill practice, homework, and mindfulness exercises to an online format so the work continues between sessions.
