About Nicole
Nicole Onorato Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, depression, codependency, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Nicole focuses on practical help for real life problems rather than labels or promises of quick fixes.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness to guide sessions. In practice this means talking through current struggles, testing small behavior changes, and noticing how patterns from the past show up now. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with room for emotional processing.
Nicole often addresses family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment wounds, communication and control problems, and the stress that comes from caregiving or living around someone else's substance use or moods. She also helps people who face body image concerns, emptiness, or the fallout of divorce and separation. The work includes building clearer boundaries and stronger self-direction.
Her counseling style is collaborative and direct. She helps people reframe unhelpful thoughts, practice new ways of relating, and set realistic steps to feel different in day-to-day life. Nicole draws on her training and years of clinical experience to offer practical tools, mindfulness exercises, and skills informed by evidence-based therapies.
Clients find the sessions focus on what to do next, with attention to how personal history shapes current choices. Nicole asks questions, offers exercises, and checks in about what is actually working between sessions.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed actions that match those values while learning to let difficult thoughts sit without acting on them. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and helps people practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them through behavioral experiments, which can help with depression, anxiety, and codependency patterns.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the person’s goals and what shows up in sessions. That collaborative process means methods can be mixed and adjusted as progress, setbacks, or new priorities appear.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others find phone sessions easier when they need lower bandwidth or a quicker appointment. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, energy, and practical needs before your first meeting.
