More about Nicki
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor in SC with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients of all ages with stress and anxiety, depression, coping with relationship issues, and trauma. I am trained in CBT, TFCBT, Motivational Interviewing, MET, and other Evidence Based Practices. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I also believe in accountability, honesty, and transparency. Taking the first step to feeling better is really hard to do and I'm proud of you for taking that step. I look forward to working with you. I do work on this platform part-time so my availability varies, it is usually consistent for Saturday and Sunday appointments, however, during the weekdays my current availability fluctuates. Weekday appointments would have to be after 5:00pm, EST(later on Mondays with my current obligations) and typically on Tuesdays and Thurdays. Wednesdays available for phone or messaging appointments only. Thank you for understanding. If you are matched with me and my scheduling times and/or clinical experience is not a match for you, please select the 'Change Counselor' drop-down option on the Counseling Tab at the top right of your page or let me know so that I can request a referral. Also, if you have any concerns regarding billing, please contact: [email protected].

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
