About Nicole
Nicole Onorato Hunter is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience in Georgia. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, grief, depression, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, parenting, and related struggles such as self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early bonds shape current reactions and closeness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness work support noticing feelings and choosing actions that reflect personal values.
In practice she offers straightforward feedback and skill-building. That may include communication strategies, exercises to reduce stress, and ways to rebuild trust with oneself and others. She also addresses practical topics like parenting strain, caregiving stress, and forgiveness when these come up.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. This approach helps when patterns from the family you grew up in affect trust, intimacy, or communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she uses to help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and to choose actions aligned with their values.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in-session, and adjust plans based on what works and what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to emphasize.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make fitting therapy into daily life easier, such as shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or using audio-only if bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work to remote settings so clients can practice skills and try new ways of relating without changing their routine.
