About Nicole
Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience. She is based in Florida and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and related concerns including anger.
Nicole focuses on straightforward, practical work in sessions. She listens for patterns in how people relate, cope, and react under pressure. She offers clear tools and ways to notice triggers so clients can try different responses in daily life.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered work. That means paying attention to how early relationships shape current responses, while keeping the client’s own goals central. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions as they arise.
Nicole brings EMDR and somatic elements into her practice when trauma and bodily reactions are part of the picture. This can help people who notice strong physical responses alongside upsetting memories or ongoing stress.
People usually leave sessions with one or two practical steps to try between meetings. Nicole also supports clients thinking about parenting, career shifts, grief, identity questions, addiction concerns, ADHD, and other life changes. She accepts international clients and works in English.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Nicole blends attachment-based therapy with client-centered methods and DBT skills in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice patterns that drive anger or distance. Client-centered therapy keeps the conversation focused on what the client wants to change and values their perspective. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete tools - like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - useful for managing irritation, resentment, or explosive moments.Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Nicole collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and tolerance for different techniques. That means discussing preferences, trying tools in session, and adjusting the plan as needs and progress become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be closer to a lunch break or evening routine. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt DBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and attachment-focused conversations to the online setting so skills can be practiced between meetings.
