Nicole Hohler, LPCC

Nicole Hohler is a licensed Ohio therapist with seven years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She holds the LPCC credential - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - which signals specialized training to provide clinical counseling and ongoing therapeutic care.

Nicole approaches therapy from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective, honoring the idea that each person is the expert of their own story. She helps clients build motivation, confidence, and self-esteem while working through issues such as anger, career concerns, communication problems, and co-occurring conditions. Her background includes assisting individuals with substance and process addictions, eating and food-related concerns, social anxiety and phobia, and the emotional impacts of family or seasonal changes.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and Nicole acknowledges that step while creating a collaborative space to set goals and develop practical coping skills. She tailors evidence-informed strategies to meet individual needs, focusing on tools that apply to everyday life and on strengthening the resources clients already possess.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Nicole Hohler integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people learn to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior while committing to actions that align with personal values - it can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building on a person’s strengths - it is well suited for work on self-esteem, relationship concerns, and motivation by letting the client guide the pace and focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is commonly applied to anxiety, mood challenges, and coping with addictive behaviors.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process, and Nicole collaborates with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is working and what the client finds most helpful.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allows licensed professionals to meet people where they are. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules, easier access from different locations within Ohio, and the ability to choose a format that feels most comfortable for ongoing work or brief check-ins.
