Nicole Hohler , LPCC

Nicole Hohler is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, motivation and career questions, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions, drawing on practical strategies to help people move forward.

Her practice includes support for coping with drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions such as gambling and pornography, eating and food-related issues, mood disorders, social anxiety, seasonal affective disorder, and common family and communication problems. Nicole also offers guidance around forgiveness, jealousy, self-love, and women’s issues, tailoring her focus to co-occurring concerns when present.

Nicole approaches each person with the assumption that they are the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be used to overcome obstacles. She emphasizes collaborative work, helping clients identify goals and apply skills in everyday life. Nicole recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to create a respectful, strengths-based experience for those seeking change.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Nicole uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that reflect their values - this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. In addition, Nicole incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective and personal strengths guide the work.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Nicole treats that choice as a collaborative decision. She will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar surroundings, and access licensed professionals who can provide consistent, focused support.
