Nicole Lewandowski, LCSW

Nicole Lewandowski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, and concerns related to attention, eating, sleep, and parenting.

She has supported people who have experienced trauma or abuse and those living with mood differences such as bipolar disorder. Nicole also helps people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, identity and LGBT concerns, and codependency. Conversations in sessions focus on concrete problems and next steps rather than labels.

Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness practices and trauma-focused tools when they fit someone’s situation. Sessions tend to be interactive and practical, with attention to skills that can be used between meetings.

Nicole listens for how patterns play out in daily life - for example people-pleasing, trouble setting limits, or getting pulled into others' crises. She then works with each person to try options that build clearer boundaries, reduce overwhelm, and shift unhelpful thinking. Therapy includes talking, skill practice, and checking what changes feel doable.

Her background as a social worker informs a focus on real-world problems like parenting stress, work pressures, and caregiving demands. She aims to help people find steadier ways of acting in relationships and at work without promising a specific result.
