About Nicole
Nicole Reineri is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful so clients can apply what they learn to daily life. She began with an undergraduate degree in psychology and completed a master’s in professional counseling at Lindenwood University.
Before becoming a therapist she worked in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, drug and alcohol addiction services, and applied behavior analysis.
Background and approach
Her practicum included group work with at-risk youth and crisis counseling in a high school setting. Nicole brings an eclectic style to the counseling room. She leans on client-centered work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, cognitive behavioral ideas, and emotionally-focused listening to help people sort thoughts and name feelings.
Sessions often involve noticing patterns, trying new skills, and practicing small changes between meetings. She also taught introductory psychology at the college level and continues to run a independent practice. That background supports a practical approach that values both insight and simple, doable strategies for coping with daily challenges.
Nicole focuses on a wide range of concerns including relationships, intimacy-related issues, grief, addiction, parenting stress, and transitions. She emphasizes acceptance, thoughtful action, and steady progress toward clearer goals and a calmer life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes because it blends acceptance with practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT looks at patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple experiments and skill practice to reduce distress and change habits. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the person's own goals while they try new ways of handling problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then suggest strategies to try. Together they’ll adjust methods based on what helps most, mixing techniques from different approaches when useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face-to-face from wherever you are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins, focused coaching, or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care around work, school, or family obligations while using therapeutic tools that match your needs.
