Nicole Shaddix-Olsen, LCPC, LPC

Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is a licensed clinician who brings nine years of experience to her practice. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard feelings. She emphasizes practical steps that help clients move toward clearer thinking and healthier relationships.

Nicole focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues tied to life transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, self-esteem challenges, anger, and intimacy-related struggles. Jealousy, attachment concerns, and parenting strains are included among her areas of focus.

Her style centers on listening first and building safety in the therapeutic relationship. From that starting point she uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered support, mindfulness practices, and techniques from DBT and EMDR as they fit the person's needs. Sessions aim to help people recognize patterns, build coping skills, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Nicole is licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LCPC, LPC). She practices from Florida and offers services in English. She welcomes international clients and helps people who are ready to make changes in their lives.

To begin, clients answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. She partners with each person to set goals and adjust the work as progress unfolds.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current connections. Online sessions can use conversation and guided exercises to identify attachment responses and practice new ways of relating.

Client-centered therapy centers on listening, empathy, and following the person's lead. In an online setting this looks like unhurried conversations, reflections, and collaborative goal-setting so the client feels heard and understood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Practically, an online session can include skill teaching, role plays, and homework to practice between meetings. DBT strategies are useful for anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and problems managing intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process that includes checking in about what helps and what doesn't.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule during a work break. Licensed professionals can guide you in shaping sessions that match your routine and goals.
