Nicole Pyfer, LPC

Nicole Pyfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado. She has five years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Nicole focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions and treats each person with respect and compassion.

She uses a systems perspective to look at how family patterns and childhood experiences influence current behavior. In conversation she highlights patterns people repeat and how those patterns affect relationships and mood. That approach helps people see where change is possible.

Nicole also works with issues around abandonment, attachment, body image, control, and shame. She supports people dealing with divorce and separation, family problems, and complicated grief. Her background includes helping adults affected by trauma and those who struggle with self-harm or process addictions such as pornography, exercise, or gambling.

Her sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person. She helps clients identify unhelpful beliefs and replace them with more realistic, balanced thinking. Nicole blends practical tools with longer-term exploration of meaning and purpose.

Nicole earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Master’s degree in Counseling: Clinical Mental Health. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear. The work is paced to fit each person’s needs and goals.

Approach options and online counseling

Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life experience, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when emotions and attachment patterns are a central concern, helping people name and work through strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps you feel and function better, working collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit shorter check-ins or busy days. These options help people fit therapy into family routines, work breaks, or when travel is difficult, while still focusing on the same therapeutic goals as in-person work.
