About Nick
Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other life challenges. He works with adults, teens, and children and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Nick aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through their concerns and find what works for them.
He centers sessions on what each person needs in the moment and collaborates to identify strengths and next steps. Nick uses client-centered methods to listen deeply and CBT to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also draws on DBT skills and mindfulness practices when emotional regulation and tolerance skills are needed.
Nick has seven years of experience and holds an OK LPC credential. His background includes work with people affected by ADHD, trauma, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and identity-related stress among LGBT clients. He is comfortable discussing medication choices such as medical marijuana alongside counseling strategies.
When working with parents, Nick uses play-based approaches and Child-Parent Relationship Therapy techniques to strengthen parent-child connections. He explains skills in plain language and models them during sessions so caregivers can try new ways of interacting at home.
Sessions focus on clear, doable goals like improving sleep, reducing anxiety, managing anger, or coping with life transitions. People who want a practical, collaborative therapist who listens and offers concrete tools may find his approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through concerns, set goals together, and try different ways of coping in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed with the therapist. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving stress tolerance, useful for problems like anxiety, anger, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and pace. That might mean starting with client-centered listening, then adding CBT or DBT techniques as skills are learned. The plan can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when helpful. It also lets people practice skills in their own routine and bring real-world examples directly into sessions, which helps turn simple steps into lasting habits.
