About Nicole
Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with nine years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Kansas and practices from Florida. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting strain, career questions, depression, and family-related problems including family of origin issues.
Her work centers on clear, practical conversation about what is happening now and where it came from. She uses an attachment-based perspective to look at how early family roles and expectations shape current relationships. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness methods to focus on present concerns and coping skills.
In sessions she listens for patterns such as communication problems, abandonment worries, or repeated conflict cycles. She will talk through strategies for emotion regulation, managing anger, and improving intimacy. For people coping with grief, addiction concerns, or life changes, she combines grounding practices with longer-term planning.
Nicole includes trauma-informed tools such as EMDR and somatic ideas when past events continue to affect day-to-day functioning. She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. These methods are presented in straightforward steps and practiced during sessions.
People who want focused, practical work on family dynamics and relationship patterns will find sessions that aim to clarify goals and build concrete skills. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling before booking a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Nicole commonly uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, and DBT skills. Attachment-based work looks at how early family relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice repeated roles and expectations. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, emphasizing listening and collaborative problem solving. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, handling conflict, and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That conversation typically includes what feels most helpful now - symptom relief, better communication, or processing past experiences - and a plan for skill practice between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering options that avoid being on camera. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and DBT skill coaching to a remote setting so people can use strategies in everyday moments.
