About Nicole
Nicole Byrum is an Ohio LIMFT - Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, depression, trauma, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Nicole also names codependency, blended family issues, domestic violence, and substance use among areas she addresses.
Nicole approaches therapy as a collaboration. She looks for practical strengths people already use and teaches skills that can be tried between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy often appears in her work, and she adapts methods to match what a person needs in the moment.
Her background includes years in community mental health settings, where she supported people with mood disorders, anxiety, and addiction concerns. Her master’s degree is in marriage and family therapy, and that training shapes how she thinks about relationships and family patterns.
In sessions she focuses on clear, usable tools rather than abstract talk. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new ways to ask for needs, or setting small behavior goals. She uses motivation-focused techniques when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
Nicole also draws on emotionally focused and relationship-centered work for couples and partners. When appropriate she integrates Gottman Method ideas to address communication and conflict. Overall, her aim is to help people gain more control over daily choices and respond differently to stress and relationship pain.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that increase stress or fuel unhealthy relationship habits. CBT is practical and task-focused, which can help with anxiety, low mood, or addictive behaviors.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy in relationship work to map emotional responses and improve connection between partners. EFT helps people name feelings and respond differently to closeness and conflict. When working on communication and conflict skills she may draw on the Gottman Method to teach concrete interaction patterns and repair steps.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals, history, and what feels workable day to day. That means checking in and changing the plan if something isn't helpful.

Some formats require less bandwidth or make it simpler to keep appointments during a work break, so ask about the available options when you schedule.
