About Nicole
Nicole Deisher is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) practicing in Ohio with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, and anger. Nicole works with adults facing life changes and concentration issues such as ADHD.
She approaches sessions as a collaborative effort. Nicole treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Conversations focus on practical steps and skills people can use between sessions to reduce reactivity and manage day-to-day stress.
Nicole draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice reactions early and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change.
In session she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, such as communication traps or avoidance. Then she works with clients to set small, achievable goals. That might mean practicing a new response to frustration or trying a brief behavioral experiment between meetings.
People who choose her often want concrete tools and clear steps. Nicole encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. She asks clients to notice what works, adjust tactics, and keep building routines that reduce anger and improve relationships.
How sessions work
How Nicole uses evidence-based methods online
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and anxiety. It often involves short exercises and experiments to test new ways of responding. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce impulsive reactions and steady intense feelings.She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help clients become aware of early signs of agitation and choose different responses. These approaches are practical and skill-focused, which can fit well into online sessions where the goal is to learn and practice strategies between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nicole will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and daily routines. That way sessions focus on usable skills and small, measurable steps rather than vague promises.
