About Nicole

Nicole Wells is a licensed social worker and mental health provider based in Iowa. She holds LISW and LIMHP credentials and brings 11 years of experience to sessions. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and grief. Nicole emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work.

Nicole adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. She listens to what matters most and helps people set straightforward goals. Her approach is practical and supportive, aimed at small, manageable steps rather than big promises.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk about difficult topics like post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and social anxiety or phobia. She also addresses family of origin issues, family problems, gender dysphoria concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and seasonal affective disorder when relevant.

Nicole’s background includes practice in both Iowa and Nebraska under her LISW and LIMHP credentials. Her years of work include helping people handle parenting stress and the emotional fallout of loss or trauma. She works to empower clients to make sustainable changes at a pace that fits their life.

She encourages people to take the first step toward change and offers steady support through that process. Nicole tailors each session to the individual’s needs and adjusts plans as progress is made.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work

Nicole uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and solve practical problems. Cognitive work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Trauma-focused approaches help people process difficult memories and learn grounding strategies for panic, post-traumatic stress, and intense reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose or adapt methods so sessions match the client’s needs and pace rather than following a rigid plan.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can cut travel time, make scheduling during work breaks easier, or allow check-ins from different locations. Others prefer an in-person visit when that option exists; Nicole will help discuss which arrangement makes the most sense based on the client’s situation and goals.
