About Nicole
Nicole Lilly is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Virginia with 23 years of professional experience.

She also lists focus areas such as codependency, domestic violence, family of origin issues, self-love, social anxiety, and women's issues.

That background means she is familiar with high-stress situations and short-term crisis work as well as longer-term outpatient care. She has experience helping people who grew up around substance use or who have had ongoing household mental health difficulties.
Nicole uses a client-centered approach. Sessions are conversational and aim to reflect what the person brings, identify strengths, and build practical coping skills. She emphasizes that the client knows their own story and that therapy is a collaborative process to address current problems and everyday functioning.
People often seek her help when family patterns from childhood still affect relationships, self-worth, or parenting. She also supports people dealing with grief, bipolar disorder, or major life changes. Nicole has worked with adults, teens, and children in clinical settings across her career, which informs how she balances immediate needs and longer-term goals.
She accepts international clients and offers services in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

She will work with each person to figure out what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include adjusting the pace, focusing on practical coping strategies, or prioritizing immediate safety and stabilization when needed.
