Nicole Pyfer , LPC

Nicole Pyfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with five years of paid professional experience. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, and depression while addressing family conflicts, grief and loss, and persistent negative self-beliefs. Drawing on a systems perspective, she highlights how behavioral and emotional patterns rooted in childhood can continue to shape adult relationships and choices.

Nicole has worked extensively with survivors of trauma as well as with adults who have caused harm to others, bringing both clinical knowledge and practical strategies to complex situations. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Master of Arts in Counseling with a focus on Clinical Mental Health, training that informs her work with individuals and families.

Her approach is respectful and compassionate, tailored to each person’s unique history and goals. Nicole aims to replace self-limiting beliefs with more realistic, balanced ways of seeing oneself while supporting clients through life transitions and healing processes. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and offers individualized dialog and treatment planning to help clients move toward a more fulfilling and hopeful life.

Approaches for Online Care and Emotional Healing

Nicole integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the process; it can help with self-worth, life transitions, and developing self-compassion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to attachment and emotional patterns in relationships, helping people and couples explore emotions, improve connection, and address issues like abandonment or intimacy struggles.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Nicole collaborates with clients to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as work progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy with Nicole is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, maintain momentum between meetings, and access support from home or on the go, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor interventions to each person’s circumstances.
