About Nicole
Nicole Saunders is a licensed mental health counselor with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma. Nicole aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and plans to individual needs.
Nicole uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients identify patterns that cause pain. Together they work on small, doable changes that improve day-to-day functioning and emotional balance.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing grief, addiction, parenting challenges, and career stress. Her background includes long experience across a range of concerns, including attachment-related issues, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress. Nicole also works with people coping with chronic illness, domestic violence, and major life changes.
Her training has informed an approach that blends evidence-based methods with person-centered care. Nicole is licensed in Florida as an LMHC. She offers later evening hours on weekdays and some weekend availability.
Before the first session she asks clients to complete an additional informed consent form so she can understand preferences and any special needs. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time and pricing varies by location and therapist availability.

Online support
How attachment work and skills-based therapy fit online
Nicole blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to guide online work. Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns shape current relationships and helps people notice and change those patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to accept difficult thoughts while choosing actions that match personal values. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the person set the pace and goals for sessions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. Nicole works with each person to identify goals, test what feels most useful, and adjust as needed. This happens collaboratively so the plan fits the client's situation, pace, and preferences rather than being one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, family, or health concerns. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, day-to-day coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and practice new skills between sessions.
