About Nicole
Nicole Flores, LMSW, offers calm, practical support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. She focuses on helping individuals who feel stuck or overwhelmed regain routines, manage strong emotions, and build confidence. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making conversations feel simple and useful.
With two decades of experience in Michigan, Nicole uses conversational, goal-focused sessions. She encourages clients to describe what matters most and then tries small, manageable steps to create change.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building around coping, sleep, eating patterns, and handling intense moods like anger or depressive episodes. Nicole draws on client-centered listening to make sure a person’s priorities guide the work. She combines this with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Mindfulness practices and solution-focused framing help people notice progress and keep moving forward. She has worked with issues related to trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and self-harm concerns, using trauma-focused methods when appropriate. Nicole also addresses identity-related stress, body image, and struggles tied to adoption or foster care experiences.
People can expect down-to-earth conversation, clear suggestions, and follow-up tasks between meetings. Nicole aims to support steady steps toward better daily functioning and more self-compassion. Her approach is practical, collaborative, and paced to each person’s needs.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Nicole uses client-centered therapy to make sessions focused on what matters most to each person. That means she listens first, follows your lead, and helps set goals that feel realistic for your life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is also part of her work and helps identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and test new, workable behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicole will talk with you about your goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative decision and can change as progress is made or new challenges arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coaching, or when you want written reflections to review later. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
