Nolan Chojnacki, LPC

Nolan Chojnacki is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addiction concerns. He works with adults across several age groups and focuses on helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Nolan emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental approach in sessions. He listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Conversations are shaped to match each person’s needs and pace rather than following a rigid script.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and humanistic approaches to support change. That means sessions often include looking at patterns of thinking and behavior, learning new skills for emotion regulation, and clarifying values and life priorities.

Over eight years in community mental health, Nolan has worked with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, career stress, grief, and trauma-related concerns. He also helps people dealing with identity and intimacy questions, compassion fatigue, and complex life changes.

In a typical session Nolan helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice alternative responses, and test new behaviors between meetings. He also focuses on strengths and personal values so progress fits real life and lasts beyond therapy.

Nolan invites clients to take gradual steps toward change and supports them through setbacks. He aims to make therapy straightforward, practical, and focused on what matters most to each person.

How CBT and ACT translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It often includes straightforward exercises and practice between sessions that translate well to video or text formats.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values, even when strong emotions are present. ACT uses simple experiential exercises and values-based planning that can be coached effectively online.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than starting with a fixed plan. That collaborative decision making helps tailor session pace, tools, and homework to what will be most useful.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, and support that fits into busy days. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into real life.
