About Nicole
Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is a licensed counselor who focuses on attachment-based work and practical support. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings nine years of experience to sessions. Many people come to her feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, or relationship problems.
She offers calm, steady guidance as clients figure out what to try next. Her approach centers on building safer connections and better self-understanding. That often means looking at patterns that developed in early relationships and how they show up now.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered talk, mindfulness, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage strong emotions and communicate more clearly. Nicole also integrates trauma-informed tools, including EMDR and somatic ideas, when processing painful memories or physical tension. She aims to make the work feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Sessions focus on small, concrete steps clients can use between meetings. She works with a wide range of concerns such as parenting stress, career uncertainty, grief, substance struggles, ADHD, and questions about identity. Nicole pays attention to how guilt, shame, isolation, and attachment wounds affect daily life.
Her style is warm and straightforward, with emphasis on what the client needs most in the moment. Nicole is based in Florida and offers care that adapts to each person. She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new habits, and track progress over time.
The aim is to build more safety, connection, and purpose in everyday life.

Online support
How attachment work and skills translate online
Nicole uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach focuses on identifying repeating patterns and building more reliable ways of relating in day-to-day life, useful for relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and feelings of abandonment.She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's experience and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Client-centered work means conversations are led by the person's priorities, while DBT offers short, teachable strategies for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful, then try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape the pace and focus of sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice interaction in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat or texting can work for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, caregiving schedule, or when travel is difficult.
