About Nicole
Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is an LCPC and an LPC licensed in Kansas with nine years of clinical experience. She practices from Florida and lists help for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse among her main areas of focus. Nicole also works with people facing career changes, parenting strain, grief, and questions around identity and intimacy.
Nicole uses practical conversation and steady guidance rather than jargon. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and coping skills for strong emotions. She draws on approaches that pay attention to how attachment and past relationships affect current behavior.
In the room she asks clear questions and listens for patterns that repeat across situations. That can look like mapping how a problem began, trying out small changes, and practicing new ways to handle stress. Mindfulness and grounding exercises are used when they help reduce overwhelm.
Nicole has experience addressing addiction, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and chronic illness stress. She also helps people with abandonment issues, family of origin problems, and communication breakdowns that make everyday life harder.
She offers a direct, conversational style for people who want concrete tools and clearer thinking about next steps. Prospective clients who want to start can follow the site's matching flow to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current behavior. Online sessions using this approach often focus on identifying patterns in relationships, recognizing triggers, and practicing new responses in everyday life. Client-centered therapy centers on the person's perspective and experience, with the therapist following the client's lead and reflecting back what emerges; this can help with stress, life direction, and identity questions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and relationship strain.Choosing the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try options that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method. That discussion is part of early sessions so goals and methods can be adjusted together.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time for appointments. It also lets clients try different ways of working with a licensed professional and bring issues from everyday life straight into sessions for practical problem solving.
