About Nicole
Nicole VandeLinde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Nicole combines several therapeutic ideas to help people make practical changes. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions focus on naming difficult emotions, noticing unhelpful patterns, and practicing small behavior changes between meetings.
Her work is informed by Christian faith, and she integrates those values when a client wants that included. She aims to listen, ask direct questions, and help people try different ways of responding to stress and relationship pain. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what people want to change next.
Nicole has supported people through life transitions, parenting challenges, and relationship strain that can follow loss or trauma. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques when someone is weighing change or facing addictions.
She asks clients to set goals together and checks progress as therapy continues. The practical steps in sessions may include new communication practices, values-based actions, and short experiments to test different responses. People who prefer clear, action-oriented conversations about emotions and behavior often find this style useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. It often focuses on moments when feelings are intense and hard to express, and helps people try new ways of connecting or responding.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values and committed action. It supports people who want to live in line with what matters to them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses clear steps to test and change unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That process is part of the work, not something done only at the start.
Confirm current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep therapy regular while juggling family, work, and other demands.
