Nicole Shaddix-Olsen, LCPC, LPC

Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is a licensed counselor with nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and works with clients who are facing grief, trauma, parenting strains, and struggles with self-esteem. Nicole aims to make taking the first step feel less overwhelming by offering steady, practical support.

She creates a calm space where people can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is repairing trust, managing strong emotions, or finding a clearer life direction. Nicole uses straightforward techniques to help people feel more grounded between sessions.

Her background includes working with people impacted by abuse and major life changes. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client-centered principles to follow each person's pace. Mindfulness and DBT-informed tools are used to build emotion regulation and coping skills that work in daily life.

For those coping with identity or community questions, Nicole supports LGBTQ clients and people facing gender dysphoria, as well as those dealing with addiction or bipolar challenges. She also helps with caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems that strain relationships.

Nicole accepts international clients who speak English. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is used so people can schedule sessions that fit their timing and needs. She emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches for remote relationship work

Attachment-based work looks at the patterns we form with people we care about. It helps identify how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and provides clear steps to change those patterns in everyday interactions.

Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and responds to what the client needs in the moment, helping people feel heard and to build on their own strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Nicole will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into busy lives. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online meetings can make it simpler to check in during a break, avoid travel time, or use shorter conversations when needed. Licensed professionals tailor the pace and tools to each person's situation, focusing on steps that can be practiced between sessions.
