About Nicole
Nicole Wilbur is a Michigan-licensed social worker (LMSW) with 19 years of experience. She has worked in hospitals, homecare, hospice and schools, and brings that background to sessions with adults facing everyday and complex stresses.
She helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related problems. Nicole also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, and the practical fallout of major life changes.
Her style is interactive and person-focused. She uses mindfulness strategies, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior techniques, and motivational interviewing depending on what fits. Conversations focus on concrete skills, thought patterns, and small behavioral changes that a person can try between sessions.
Nicole draws on her experience running groups and offering education for professionals and community members. That background informs how she structures sessions and offers worksheets, skill practice, and short-term coaching when helpful.
Sessions look at how issues affect communication, family life, work and daily routines. Goals are practical - improving sleep, reducing panic, managing impulses, or strengthening coping during a major transition. For young adults facing life shifts like leaving home, starting work, or finishing school, she offers straightforward tools and clear next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaborating with you to set goals and priorities. It is useful for people who want someone to help them organize feelings and make practical plans. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, and can help with impulsivity and strong mood swings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nicole will discuss what seems to fit your needs and try methods that match your goals and preferences. The plan can shift as you learn what helps most, and she works collaboratively to pick practical skills and exercises you can use between meetings.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and can cut travel time so you can try a skill before the next meeting. Therapists often provide worksheets, guided mindfulness exercises, and step-by-step behavioral tasks that translate well to remote work.
