Nicole Martin , LPCC, LCPC

Nicole Martin is a licensed counselor who brings more than 10 years of professional counseling experience to her work. She holds LPCC and LCPC credentials - LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and has worked alongside veterans through partnerships with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Center for PTSD. Her practice concentrates on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, process grief and loss, and navigate life changes while rebuilding self-esteem and confidence.

Nicole combines clinical knowledge with a compassionate, strengths-based approach to support recovery from trauma and to develop practical coping skills related to military service and other stressors. She creates an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly, and she partners with clients to identify goals and steps toward a more fulfilling life. Seeking change takes courage, and Nicole focuses on empowering individuals through encouragement, practical strategies, and ongoing support as they work toward increased motivation and wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Nicole Martin integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the therapist listens deeply and helps individuals explore their values and feelings - this approach works well for building self-esteem and processing life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress and addictive patterns. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and strengthens commitment to goals, which is useful for addressing motivation and substance-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Nicole collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. Her aim is to partner with clients in a way that feels respectful and goal-oriented.

Online therapy with Nicole is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and communication. Remote sessions make it easier to access care from home, balance therapy with daily obligations, and maintain continuity of support when life circumstances change.
