Nicole Dickerson, LPCC

Nicole Dickerson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people tap into their personal power to create meaningful change, especially those who already have a good life but want to bring a missing element into clearer focus. Nicole’s style is practical, interactive, and empowering, and she emphasizes real-world progress through small, realistic steps.

She values work outside of sessions and routinely incorporates practical homework to support change between meetings. Her aim is to help clients identify unique, achievable steps and to provide steady support while those steps are taken. Nicole approaches every person with compassion, kindness, and respect and does not endorse stigmatizing or marginalizing labels. She treats clients as valued individuals who bring both wisdom and questions to the therapeutic process.

Nicole has a diverse background in personal growth and self-discovery methods, including Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Transactional Analysis, therapeutic storytelling, and object relations, alongside studies in Eastern philosophies and energy work such as Reiki and Buddhism. She integrates these perspectives as appropriate to a person’s goals and needs. Live sessions are generally offered Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST, with some evening appointments occasionally available. Asynchronous messaging is available Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST; she checks messages once in the morning and once later in the afternoon and may check more often when time allows.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Nicole draws on Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work in ways that suit each person’s goals. Mindfulness Therapy helps people build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity and create space for new choices. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental method that helps people find their own reasons for change and increases motivation to follow through. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and strengths, concentrating on what works and how to build on small successes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Nicole works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face interaction from wherever a client is located in the therapist's service area, while live chat and text-based messaging provide convenient options for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapeutic work into day-to-day life with licensed professionals guiding the process.
