About Nichole
Nichole Molnar is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with ten years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, trauma, and challenges like low self-esteem and parenting concerns. Nichole also addresses codependency, attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, and issues around intimacy and communication.
She favors straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. Nichole uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that lead to feeling stuck. She also brings in mindfulness practices to help people notice their reactions and make different choices in the moment.
Sessions emphasize practical tools and clear goals. Nichole treats therapy as a collaborative process - she and the client pick steps that feel doable and relevant. For some concerns she may draw on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and actions.
Nichole has experience with family and relationship topics, grief, first responder stress, and parenting issues including fatherhood concerns. She also supports people working through separation, forgiveness, and control or dependency challenges. Her approach focuses on helping each person build skills they can use between sessions.
People can expect direct conversations about what’s getting in the way, practice of specific techniques, and regular check-ins about progress. Nichole invites practical problem solving alongside attention to emotions and values to help people regain a clearer sense of themselves.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. In practice this looks like clarifying what matters and trying experiments that move behavior toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase clarity in stressful moments.Nichole treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with each person to decide which combination of these methods fits best for their goals and preferences. Sessions often mix skill practice, discussion, and short exercises agreed on together.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specifics are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people try techniques in their everyday setting and then review what worked with a licensed professional.
