About Nicole
Nicole Reineri is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, addiction, grief, parenting strain, career issues, and other life changes. Nicole also lists focuses such as attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and questions around kink and alternative sex culture. She sees LGBT clients and those coping with trauma and abuse.
Nicole trained in psychology for her undergraduate degree and completed a master’s in professional counseling at Lindenwood University. Before practicing as a therapist she worked in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, drug and alcohol addiction services, and applied behavior analysis. Her master’s practicum involved group work with at-risk high school students and individual crisis counseling.
In session she uses an eclectic mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally focused ideas, and existential perspectives. She draws on these tools to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build coping skills.
Sessions focus on sorting thoughts, naming feelings, and looking at present experience. Nicole describes her role as assisting people to reach goals and find more contentment in life. She also offers coaching-style support when clients want practical steps toward change.
Her prior teaching experience includes undergraduate psychology instruction at Jefferson College, and she continues to see clients through private practice in Missouri.
How her approaches translate to online work
Nicole often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, which can help with anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can better understand their experience and make their own choices. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as sessions progress. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. It also lets people practice new behaviors between meetings and bring real-life examples into sessions. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like ACT and client-centered listening to work over distance while focusing on practical steps and reflection.Areas of expertise
