About Nikki
Nikki Ciletti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 24 years of experience. She focuses on practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. Nikki aims to create a calm, steady presence during hard conversations and life changes.
She commonly helps with addiction challenges and the strain they place on daily life. Relationship and family concerns are frequent topics, including communication problems, blended family dynamics, and adoption or foster care issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing grief, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Nikki uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break cycles of negative thinking.
Emotionally-Focused techniques are used to identify feelings and improve connection in close relationships. Her work often includes attention to trauma, panic and social anxiety, and the particular needs that come with neurodiversity such as autism or Asperger syndrome. She supports people dealing with divorce, separation, and codependency while offering concrete tools for recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Sessions are aimed at short-term goals and longer healing work depending on what a person needs. Nikki likes to work together with each person to set clear steps, practice new skills, and track progress over time.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk through stress and anxiety.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include small homework tasks, thought records, and step-by-step plans to reduce panic, social anxiety, or depressive patterns. It works well for people who want clear tools and measurable progress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify feelings and patterns in close relationships. It can help people improve communication, reduce conflict, and deepen emotional understanding between partners or within family dynamics.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or blend approaches that fit. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so therapy can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions offer practical benefits like flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face work, phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while balancing daily life.
