About Nicole
Nicole Porter is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. Nicole helps clients with issues like grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and career or life transitions in a straightforward, compassionate way.
She blends several approaches to fit each person, using methods that help change unhelpful thoughts and build values-driven action.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and step-by-step skills. Nicole listens for what matters most and then helps people practice small changes that add up. Nicole works with the emotional fallout of trauma, abuse, and domestic violence and helps people manage compassion fatigue and first responder stress.
She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care issues, immigration-related stress, HIV and AIDS concerns, and veteran or armed forces challenges. Much of her work involves communication problems, infidelity, and family of origin issues. The style in sessions is collaborative and respectful.
Nicole uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered techniques, and motivational interviewing depending on what a person needs. She explains options plainly and helps people pick what feels right. People who choose her often want practical tools and steady emotional support.
The goal is stronger coping skills, clearer priorities, and more satisfying relationships. Nicole aims to help people make changes that fit real life and last beyond the therapy room.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful steps rather than fighting every difficult thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, sleeping problems, and depression.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Nicole will talk through options, try techniques together, and adjust based on what feels helpful. That collaborative process helps match methods to a person’s goals and everyday life demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face from any location, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can help with quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
