About Nicole
Nicole Lilly, LPC, has 23 years of clinical experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes. She notes additional focus on codependency, domestic violence, family of origin issues, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.
Nicole has spent much of her career supporting women with chronic post-traumatic stress after ongoing life stressors. Many of these clients have survived domestic violence or grew up around substance misuse and untreated mental health problems. She often works with people who carry heavy responsibilities and have limited support networks.
Her background includes work in crisis and hospital settings as well as outpatient therapy. That variety means she has experience with adults, teens, and children in emergency contexts and with people seen in regular therapy sessions. She is licensed in Virginia as an LPC.
Nicole practices using client-centered therapy. In sessions she invites clients to tell their story and recognizes the strengths they bring. Conversations focus on practical steps and on building the skills a person wants to use in day-to-day life.
People who reach out can expect straightforward, respectful conversations about their concerns. Nicole aims to help people sort through what is overwhelming, identify coping options, and consider next steps that fit their lives.
Client-centered care and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects what the client says, helps clarify feelings and goals, and supports people as they decide what changes to try. This approach is often used for concerns like anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship or family stress.Nicole frames therapeutic work as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to identify which ways of working fit their needs and goals. Together they can try different approaches and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it simpler to keep to a regular schedule. Some people prefer video to see facial cues, while others choose audio for a lower-bandwidth call; discuss preferences when arranging the first appointment.
