Nicole Shaddix-Olsen, LCPC, LPC

Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people move through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and addiction-related concerns. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings and life changes.

Nicole centers her work on attachment-based and client-centered ideas. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feeling and behavior, and she follows each person's pace and priorities in sessions. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR when those tools fit the goals.

In practical terms, sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Nicole helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of handling stress and strong emotions. She supports people coping with grief, trauma, parenting strain, identity questions, and career stress, among other concerns.

Her background includes work with family conflict and trauma, which informs how she listens for attachment wounds and communication problems. She helps people explore issues like abandonment, guilt, and isolation while building coping skills and healthier routines.

Nicole accepts international clients and offers services from her Florida location. Her approach is collaborative - she works with each person to set realistic goals and to choose techniques that fit their life and values.

How attachment and mindfulness fit into online therapy

Nicole often draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to guide online work. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early and current relationships shape reactions and trust, helping people understand patterns in relationships and communication. Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens without judgment, and helps people set their own goals.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and coping strategies are needed. DBT provides concrete tools for handling intense emotions, managing urges, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicole works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's needs and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as goals change. That teamwork helps clients try out strategies they can use in everyday life.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, or shorter check-ins that work around a break at work. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Licensed professionals can offer online work that focuses on skill practice, emotional processing, and relationship patterns just as in-person therapy does.
