Nick Livingston, LPC

Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with seven years of experience supporting adults, teens, and children. He centers his work on meeting people where they are and partnering with them to identify strengths, clarify goals, and explore practical ways to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. His style emphasizes collaboration, respect, and a non-judgmental atmosphere where clients can address stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, addiction, and a broad range of life challenges.

Nick primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered approaches, explaining CBT as a way to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors while using client-centered techniques to prioritize the person’s perspective and goals. He also offers parent-focused methods including play therapy and Child Parent Relationship Therapy, guiding caregivers in building stronger connections and supporting children with ADHD and other developmental concerns.

Nick is open to discussing the role of medical marijuana and medications as part of a broader plan for growth, and he affirms LGBT clients who may face unique stressors in Oklahoma. As an LPC, he aims to create a comfortable, collaborative environment where people can explore their concerns and work toward meaningful change.

Approaches in online therapy and what they offer

Nick combines approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor online care to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and supporting clients as they set their own goals - it helps people strengthen self-understanding, build confidence, and make choices that fit their values. CBT involves identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support stress management and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Nick works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, preferences, and goals, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and engage in ongoing work without added travel time.
