About Nick
Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. He approaches sessions with a calm, practical style that aims to meet each person where they are. Conversations are collaborative and goal-focused so clients can find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Nick uses straightforward methods from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to address thought patterns and daily habits.
Background and approach
He also draws on mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas to teach skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions are built around real-life problems, not jargon, and include simple tools clients can apply between meetings.
He has seven years of counseling experience and has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, parenting stresses, addiction, and career transitions. He also supports people exploring identity and LGBT matters and those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, or complicated family histories.
Nick acknowledges that medication and medical marijuana can play a role in some people’s recovery and approaches those conversations without judgment. He aims to coordinate therapeutic work with whatever other supports a client is using, focusing on practical coping and clearer communication. Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Approaches and How Online Sessions Help
Nick blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to keep work focused on what matters to each person. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the client’s goals and values while the therapist listens and helps name concerns. CBT looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines and offers concrete exercises to change patterns that cause distress.He also uses ideas from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation and intense stress get in the way of daily life. DBT provides step-by-step skills for managing overwhelming feelings, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without acting impulsively. These approaches are practical and often used together depending on what a person needs.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that match their goals, current situation, and preferences. That may mean trying a set of skills for a few weeks, adjusting them, or focusing on different tools over time.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel or time are limiting. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or when a check-in without video feels better. Live chat and text-based messaging are options for brief check-ins, written skills practice, or between-session support. These choices add flexibility so therapy can match a person’s schedule and daily routine.
