    About Nicole

    Nicole Woolery is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and related life changes. Her manner is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping someone take practical steps forward.

    Nicole draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people need help finding motivation and setting realistic goals. Client-centered and mindfulness strategies are woven in to keep sessions focused on the person sitting across from her.

    Her background includes work in hospitals, schools, community settings, and private practice. Early in her career she worked with at-risk children in inner-city schools and later provided psychosocial assessments and group work in hospital settings. Since 2015 she has maintained a private practice and has worked with people across the lifespan.

    Sessions are collaborative and strength-based. Nicole emphasizes awareness, cognitive diffusion, and identifying values to support meaningful change. She can use a Christian-informed approach for clients who prefer that perspective.

    Prospective clients should note Ohio rules require an initial face-to-face meeting that may occur by video or phone to verify identity before ongoing electronic sessions.

  2. How Nicole’s Approaches Work Online

    Nicole uses several practical approaches that adapt well to remote sessions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people explore their own reasons for change, set realistic goals, and build motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and clarifies personal values to guide action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to manage symptoms and responses.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. Together they check what is working and adjust the plan so therapy stays practical and relevant.

    Ohio rules require an initial face-to-face meeting, which may take place by video or phone to confirm identity before electronic services continue. Confirm current session options when booking so the format meets your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s routine.
