Nicole Hohler, LPCC

Nicole Hohler is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio with seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns. She supports work on self-esteem, confidence, motivation, and coping with life changes. Nicole emphasizes practical steps and clear goals to help people feel more steady in day-to-day life.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, useful changes that add up over time.

Nicole uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based choices and emotional acceptance.

She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the session grounded in the person’s experiences, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for skills around emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Existential ideas are used when people are wrestling with meaning and life direction.

In practice, Nicole offers clear explanations, skill-building, and collaborative problem solving. She helps people set achievable steps for change and checks in on progress regularly. Many clients work on skills for managing anxiety, changing habits around substance use, repairing communication, or finding forward movement after a big life shift.

Nicole provides services in English and sees clients in Ohio. If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs.

How Nicole's Approach Fits Online Care

Nicole frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is useful for stress, social anxiety, and habit change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another part of her work and helps people clarify values and take action even when uncomfortable feelings remain. ACT can help with addiction patterns and coping with life transitions.

She pairs those methods with client-centered skills that keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what is most helpful. Nicole aims to match methods to the client’s needs and preferences rather than using a single fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief updates, tracking progress, or for people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work moving between sessions.
