About Nicole

Nicole Reineri is a licensed professional counselor who brings a practical, people-first approach to therapy. She writes plainly and listens closely to help clients name problems and try new ways of coping. Nicole aims to help people move toward clearer thinking and a calmer daily life.

Nicole earned an undergraduate degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling from Lindenwood University. Before practicing as a therapist she worked in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, drug and alcohol addiction services, and applied behavior analysis.

Background and approach

Her practicum involved group work and crisis counseling at a high school, and she has taught introductory psychology at the college level. In sessions she helps people sort through thoughts and identify feelings. She uses several approaches to match what the person needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment practices, emotionally-focused techniques, existential discussion, and EMDR.

The goal is to strengthen coping skills and open new perspectives that feel useful in daily life. Nicole commonly supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related struggles, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and trauma or abuse. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, blended family issues, communication problems, fertility or fatherhood concerns, and challenges connected to autism or kink culture.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Nicole invites clients to set clear goals and then tests practical steps together. She encourages small changes that lead to steadier routines and better relationships over time.

Approaches Nicole names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Nicole often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts and values, then choose actions that match what matters. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck because it focuses on small, values-driven steps rather than perfect solutions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience. That approach is about listening deeply, reflecting what the person says, and helping them find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to shift mood and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Video calls let people work visually and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when being off camera feels easier. Live chat and text can be used for shorter check-ins, emotional support between sessions, or when typing helps someone express themselves more clearly. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
