About Nicole

Nicole Deisher is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She works with individuals wrestling with trauma, low self-esteem, addictions, and life transitions. Nicole’s approach is straightforward and collaborative; she aims to help people find practical steps that fit their lives.

Nicole brings 11 years of experience as an LCSW and as an LISW licensed in Ohio. She centers clients’ strengths and respects each person’s story.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clearer thinking, coping skills, and concrete strategies rather than long jargon-filled explanations. Her work often addresses grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, and issues connected to ADHD and bipolar mood challenges. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, adoption and foster-care histories, body image, and family of origin patterns.

Nicole pays attention to how these topics affect daily routines and relationships. Therapy sessions can use evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and elements from dialectical behavior therapy. She may also use motivational interviewing to strengthen goals and solution-focused strategies to set manageable steps forward.

The aim is to build skills you can use between sessions. Nicole values clear communication and steady progress. She helps people break big problems into small, doable changes and tracks what works.

Her tone is practical, encouraging, and focused on making therapy feel useful from the start.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing self-destructive behaviors. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and increase focus.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Nicole will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, challenges, and preferences. Sessions may mix approaches so clients get what works most quickly and fits their life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help progress. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to check in between sessions, send quick updates, or have shorter check-ins during a busy day. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a routine.
