About Nicolette
Her early work in a family residential treatment center shaped a collaborative, strengths-based approach where families healed together through increased self-awareness and personal growth. She focuses on identifying and building strengths to help individuals and families find new ways of living with greater joy and fulfillment.
Ulstrom has eight years of clinical experience addressing substance use disorders, anxiety, women's issues, self-esteem and self-worth, and a broad range of relational and life challenges including grief, trauma, parenting, and intimacy-related concerns. She values each person’s life story and how past experiences have shaped who they are and who they want to become.
Nicolette takes a side-by-side approach, offering a supportive environment where encouragement and practical steps are used to unweave challenges and reconnect with a true sense of self. Her work centers on helping people explore their stories and choose how they want those stories to unfold going forward.
Approach to Therapy Online and Clinical Methods
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths, offering empathic listening and support to help people explore their values and make meaningful changes. It is useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines practical skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness with a focus on balancing acceptance and change. It can help with intense emotions, anxiety, anger, and patterns related to substance use or self-harm.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to patterns of emotional connection in relationships, helping partners and family members identify and shift interaction cycles to deepen trust and intimacy. It is particularly helpful for couples and attachment-related struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicolette works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods so therapy feels useful and relevant. That collaboration guides which techniques and frameworks are emphasized.
Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting with licensed professionals. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction from home, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice contact, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter, real-time or asynchronous ways to check in between sessions. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care.
