About Nicole
Nicole Reineri is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Missouri. She brings four years of clinical experience and a background in psychology and professional counseling from Lindenwood University. Nicole draws on past work in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, addiction services, and applied behavior analysis to inform her approach. She aims to help people find more calm and meaning in daily life.
Nicole prefers a straightforward, person-centered way of working. Sessions focus on sorting through thoughts, naming feelings, and noticing what matters to the person right now. She mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people take practical steps toward change.
Her prior roles include group work with at-risk youth during her practicum and teaching introductory psychology at the college level. Those experiences shaped her skill at guiding conversations for learning and growth. She also has clinical experience related to drug and alcohol addiction and pain management from earlier positions.
Nicole addresses a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, parenting strains, and career stress. She also works with people facing attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, and fertility or fatherhood concerns.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Nicole helps people set small, doable goals and supports them as they practice new ways of coping. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
How Nicole’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on meaningful steps rather than getting rid of every uncomfortable feeling.Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s experience and pacing. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building trust, exploring identity, and working through relationship or self-esteem concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build coping skills, which can be helpful for depression, anxiety, and coping with relapse in addiction recovery.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful. Sessions are collaborative and decisions about approach happen over time.
