She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions. Her style is steady and supportive for people feeling overwhelmed by caregiving, grief, sleep problems, or work and relationship strain.
With 30 years of experience, Niki draws on approaches that help people notice what matters and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build small, meaningful habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work for spotting thoughts that fuel anxiety or depression and testing new ways of thinking. Sessions feel collaborative.
She listens first, then helps set realistic goals and simple practices to try at home. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are available when emotion regulation and connecting in relationships are central concerns. Niki has worked with a range of concerns including ADHD, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life issues.
She also supports people facing career shifts, parenting strain, and problems with anger or self-esteem. Her approach balances practical tools with attention to feelings. Therapy is offered in English from Florida.
Services include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To get started, use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.
How therapy approaches fit into online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns that worsen stress or low mood and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving; it is often helpful for anxiety, sleep problems, and depressive symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions in relationships and improving connection and communication when relationship strain or loss is central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face while saving travel time. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or work break and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and quick updates between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into real life and keep skills in use between meetings.
