About Nicole
Nicole Flores is a licensed social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem. She is a Michigan Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more in control. Nicole aims to create a calm setting where concerns can be talked through without judgment.
She uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused techniques to help people who are struggling with mood difficulties, sleep problems, eating concerns, anger, and other common challenges. Nicole pays attention to how daily habits, thoughts, and relationships affect mood and energy. She works collaboratively to set manageable goals and track small wins over time.
Adoption and foster care is one of the areas she lists as a focus, so she understands issues that often arise around those experiences. Nicole also supports people dealing with OCD, panic, postpartum changes, dissociation, and identity concerns such as LGBT matters. Her approach blends practical problem-solving with attention to feelings and personal values.
Sessions typically move at a steady, respectful pace and are tailored to what each person needs on the day. Nicole emphasizes coping skills that can be used between sessions and realistic strategies for handling stressors. She encourages people to take the first steps and offers steady support through change.
Her background includes two decades of work in mental health settings in Michigan. That experience shapes a down-to-earth style that focuses on what helps most in ordinary life.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus and sleep.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try different strategies to find what helps most. Decisions about methods and pace are made collaboratively rather than imposed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or letting people join from a quieter room. Many people find that working with a licensed professional online still allows for clear goal setting, practice of skills between meetings, and steady progress toward manageable changes.
