Nicole Williams is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont, bringing two decades of experience across private practice, community mental health, and educational settings. She began her academic journey at the University of Delaware, earning a BS in Individual and Family Studies, and later completed a master’s degree in Counseling from Northern Vermont University in 2000, graduating with dual licensure in mental health counseling and school counseling. These training experiences inform a broad and practical approach to care.

Over a 20-year career, Nicole has focused much of her work on adolescents and families, developing a trauma-informed, holistic practice that addresses stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family dynamics, grief and loss, and life transitions. She draws on client-centered methods, solution-focused strategies, and skill-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), integrating mindfulness and humanistic principles to tailor treatment to each person’s circumstances.

Nicole emphasizes building trusting, compassionate relationships that allow individuals to explore identity, values, and coping skills without judgment. Her practice prioritizes strengthening natural supports and practical tools to manage challenges such as compassion fatigue, parenting concerns, addiction-related issues, and a wide range of mood and stress-related difficulties. Nicole brings warmth, a sense of humor, and a respect for each person’s unique path to growth.
