About Nikki
Nikki Ciletti is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and transitions such as divorce or separation. Her practice includes support for social anxiety and phobia and related concerns like panic attacks and communication problems.
Nikki uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. She helps people notice patterns that keep problems going and then practices small changes. Conversations focus on what is causing immediate strain and on skills that reduce symptoms over days and weeks.
Her background includes long-term work with addiction recovery and blended and adoptive family situations. She brings experience addressing trauma, grief, and the strain that comes from caregiving or compassion fatigue. That experience informs how she sets goals and plans steps forward.
Nikki draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s agenda and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns are central to the concern.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. Nikki helps people build coping skills for anxiety, practice communication strategies, and make concrete changes for parenting or career stress. She also supports those navigating ADHD, intimacy challenges, and substance-related issues.
People seeking help can expect clear, manageable steps and regular check-ins on progress. The focus is on what can be done now to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The therapist reflects concerns, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and panic going, and uses exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they respond to emotional triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about current struggles, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. This collaborative process includes reviewing how skills and exercises feel in everyday life and adjusting the plan as needed.
The practical benefits of online work include being able to fit sessions around daily responsibilities and trying strategies in real-world settings between meetings. If you are considering sessions, confirm which formats are offered before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Many people find online appointments make it easier to schedule regular check-ins and to practice new skills between sessions.
