Nicole Larson, LPCC

Nicole Larson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 15 years of experience. As an LPCC she holds a license to provide clinical counseling in the state and has guided people through a range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, difficulties with motivation, challenges to self-esteem and confidence, and bipolar disorder.

She works from a strengths-based perspective, respecting that each person knows their own story and bringing attention to the skills and resources already present in a client’s life. Nicole emphasizes collaboration and practical support as clients take steps toward greater well-being. She recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and offers steady encouragement and guidance throughout the process, helping clients set goals, build coping strategies, and address patterns that get in the way of meaningful change.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care

Nicole Larson uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and focused on results. She applies skills-based strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, and mood symptoms by teaching tools for breathing, problem solving, and emotional regulation that can be practiced between sessions. She also offers trauma-focused approaches that help clients process difficult experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety and agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicole works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, test techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits the client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in treatment decisions and supported as they try new ways of coping.

Online therapy with Nicole is designed for accessibility and flexibility. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and she also offers live chat and text-based messaging for times when real-time conversation or shorter check-ins are more practical. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
