About Nichole

Nichole Molnar is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Nichole also addresses parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and family conflict.

She focuses on a practical, collaborative way of working. Sessions typically start by looking at what is most pressing and what the person already does that helps. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness strategies are used to help people notice the present moment and step back from overwhelming feelings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) concepts appear in her work when they fit the client's needs. Nichole helps people build clearer communication skills and better boundaries. She also addresses abandonment and attachment concerns and issues with codependency or control.

Nichole values working together to set goals and decide what methods to try. She often helps people break large problems into smaller, manageable steps. Her approach emphasizes skills practice between sessions and checking progress as therapy continues.

People who contact her usually start by identifying a few goals, then they use short exercises and skills to practice outside sessions. Nichole aims to help adults clarify what matters to them and develop ways to act on those values while reducing stuck patterns of guilt, shame, or avoidance.

How therapy approaches inform online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in guilt or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different responses through small behavioral steps. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attentional and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of what matters.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a client's goals and preferences and then try approaches together in session. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust methods if something is not working.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it simpler to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. They also permit practicing skills in the situations where problems happen and letting the therapist and client review progress between meetings.
