About Nicole
Nicole Spahl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with 27 years of experience. She focuses on helping people feel less overwhelmed and more capable when life becomes hard. Nicole speaks plainly and aims to make therapy a workable part of day-to-day life for busy parents and adults.
Nicole centers sessions on the relationship between therapist and client. She often draws on attachment-based ideas to notice how early connections shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered methods so people lead the pace and focus of their care. Nicole combines practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and DBT strategies to manage strong emotions. She blends these with emotionally-focused conversations when relationships and closeness are the main concern.
This mix helps address anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, and mood disorders. In a session Nicole listens without judging and helps people identify small steps that make daily life easier. She offers tools for panic, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes like pregnancy, postpartum struggles, or adoption and foster care issues.
Nicole works with people facing family of origin concerns, attachment issues, or feeling isolated and alone. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, seasonal mood shifts, and relationship communication problems. Her approach aims to be steady, practical, and respectful of each person's pace.

Online support
Attachment and skills work in online sessions
Nicole uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and closeness. This helps when trust, abandonment, or family of origin issues come up and when someone wants more supported ways of relating. She also uses client-centered therapy that keeps the conversation focused on the person's goals and pace, so clients help lead what gets worked on.Nicole pairs those approaches with cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Those tools are useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and mood shifts. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - she and the client review what is helping and adjust techniques to fit needs, goals, and preferences as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people work face-to-face; phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter, ongoing support between sessions. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while keeping the focus on practical progress.
