About Nicole
Nicole Onorato Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and depression. She brings 12 years of experience to her sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style is direct but compassionate and she aims to make therapy feel collaborative and understandable.
Nicole uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws from acceptance-based and cognitive tools, attachment-focused ideas, and mindfulness practices to help clients notice patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skills practice, brief reflections, and work on everyday routines that support emotional health. Her approach emphasizes developing self-care habits, clearer communication, and improved coping during life changes. Nicole helps people reframe negative self-talk, manage intense emotions, and build steadier relationships.
She also supports people facing parenting challenges, caregiver stress, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Clients can expect a session that balances practical skill-building with space to tell their story. Nicole often helps people set small goals and track progress between meetings.
She frames therapy as a partnership where the person’s values guide decisions about change. Nicole holds an LPC credential and practices in Georgia. She offers services in English and provides multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life steps to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy, communication, and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor the mix of ACT, CBT, or attachment-focused methods. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made and new needs arise.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow more visual connection, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins or on-the-go skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines while still working on the same approaches used in person.
