About Nicole
Nicole Onorato Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and anger. Sessions are practical and direct, aimed at helping people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Nicole draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices. She talks through how thoughts and actions interact, and offers concrete exercises to test new habits between sessions.
Nicole uses straightforward conversation and short in-session exercises. She helps people reframe negative beliefs, build emotion regulation skills, and practice communication techniques. For relationship concerns she incorporates tools from the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict patterns.
She also brings attention to attachment history when it matters to current problems. That can help explain persistent patterns in close relationships and guide different coping choices. Mindfulness and ACT work are used to reduce reactivity and increase focus on values-based action.
Nicole encourages small, repeatable changes rather than all-or-nothing fixes. She supports development of daily habits that help manage mood, stress, and irritability. People leave sessions with specific skills and short practice tasks to try before the next meeting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Nicole commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values, which can reduce reactive responses. CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and gives straightforward experiments to try between sessions.She also brings attachment-based ideas into sessions to address patterns in close relationships. That approach looks at how early relationship experiences shape expectations and reactions, which can be helpful for recurring anger or mistrust in partnerships. These methods are presented in clear steps and practice tasks rather than abstract theory.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals and preferences. Clients often try a mix of techniques and adjust what they do as progress is seen.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a break. Different approaches lend themselves to short skills practice, communication role-plays, and homework that can be done between meetings.
