About Nicole
Nicole Larson is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor licensed in Minnesota with 15 years of counseling experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and depression. Nicole focuses on practical steps people can use when social situations feel overwhelming or when mood symptoms make daily life harder.
She starts by listening to each person’s story and recognizing the strengths already present. Sessions are conversational and direct. Nicole helps clients identify small, realistic changes they can try between meetings and checks progress together in later sessions.
Her approach centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She helps clients learn tools for managing panic, reducing avoidance, and calming stress reactions. For people who feel isolated or stuck, she works on clearer communication and rebuilding connections at a manageable pace.
Nicole also addresses issues tied to attachment, abandonment, and caregiver stress. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, and forgiveness so they can make decisions that fit their life and values. Work with impulse control, midlife transitions, or relationship breakups is practical and focused on next steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and provided from her Minnesota practice. The initial step is a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Nicole uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. One approach focuses on learning practical coping skills to reduce panic and manage anxiety in social situations; this involves step-by-step practice and monitoring how small changes affect everyday life. Another approach emphasizes skills for mood regulation and impulse control, helping clients notice patterns and choose different responses when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences. She will try methods, check what helps, and adjust plans so sessions fit the client’s needs rather than forcing a single method.
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 schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can also use online meetings to review skills between sessions and to practice real-life steps that come up during the week.
