About Nicolle
Nicolle Atchison is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Washington. She offers evening and Saturday appointments and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Nicolle aims to build a straightforward, compassionate working relationship tailored to each person’s needs.
She starts by listening to what matters most and then collaborates on clear, achievable steps. Sessions are nonjudgmental and practical, with an emphasis on honesty and good humor. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Nicolle helps people with anxiety, depression, grief, and the lingering effects of past trauma. She also supports those facing life transitions, relationship strain, career questions, and stress related to money and financial issues. Parenting concerns and family patterns are part of her work when they affect an individual’s wellbeing.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, emotionally-focused practices, and mindfulness to help people reconnect with their feelings and values. She uses solution-focused and existential ideas to set goals and explore meaning when life feels unsettled.
With five years of clinical experience, Nicolle aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant. She encourages people to try small changes, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as they go. Evening and Saturday hours are available for scheduling.
To start, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgment. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that match their values.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and expressing core emotions in relationships and personal life. It can be useful for people struggling with connection, intimacy-related issues, and intense emotional reactions.
Nicolle approaches finding the right method as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan so the process stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, especially with evening and Saturday appointment options. It can reduce travel time and allow more consistent check-ins during life transitions or when managing stress and financial concerns. Confirm current session format options before booking to know which formats are offered and which best match scheduling and communication needs.
