Nicole Bebiak, LCPC, LMHC

Nicole Bebiak is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and jealousy-related concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around intimacy or sexual boundaries. Nicole works from a compassionate, practical stance and aims to help clients find manageable steps forward.

She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University in 1999 and has practiced since then. Over two decades she has worked in a domestic violence center, on crisis lines, in community mental health, and at a behavioral health hospital. Those settings shaped an approach that blends steady listening with tools you can try between sessions.

Nicole’s main style is client-centered, which means she focuses on each person’s experience and priorities. She combines that with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. Sessions tend to mix talking, practical skill-building, and reflection about patterns that keep problems going.

In the room she aims to be a guide, sounding board, and occasional challenger when it helps move things forward. The goal is not to hand over answers but to help people discover solutions they can live with. Her long experience means she brings a wide therapeutic toolbox while tailoring the approach to each person.

Nicole practices in Indiana and holds licensure as LCPC and LMHC. She offers help for a broad range of everyday and complex emotional issues, with attention to safety, coping skills, and gradual progress.

Approaches you can try in online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s goals and experience. It means the therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and helps shape goals that feel useful. This approach is helpful for relationship struggles, self-esteem, grief, and day-to-day stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy brings gentle attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with stress, anger, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and new challenges appear.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help therapy feel more doable alongside school, work, and family life.
