Nicole Cheleotis

Nicole Cheleotis is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and life transitions. Nicole aims to accompany people as they build skills and move toward everyday improvement.

Nicole uses practical, evidence-informed methods and pays attention to each person’s perspective. She creates a calm, accepting space where people can talk about ideas and feelings without judgment. Building trust and working as a team are central to how she approaches sessions.

Her work often focuses on coping skills for stress and panic, managing mood challenges, and navigating big life changes like loss or caregiving strain. She also helps with relationship and communication problems, attachment and adoption-related concerns, and issues tied to identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT stress.

Nicole draws from several clear approaches. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns and try new behaviors. EMDR and trauma-focused ideas are available for people processing past painful events.

Sessions include practical exercises, gentle skill-building, and space to tell one’s story. Nicole blends mindfulness, narrative work, and other hands-on techniques to help people reduce symptoms and increase day-to-day coping. She practices in Florida and works in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions use that same stance - the therapist reflects concerns and helps the client steer the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes; online sessions make it easy to set real-world practice between meetings and review progress together. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process painful memories; when used remotely it still centers on careful pacing and guided processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and comfort level. That plan can change over time as progress and needs shift.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. It can also make it easier to practice CBT homework between meetings and bring mindfulness skills into everyday routines.
