Nicole Shaddix-Olsen, LCPC, LPC

Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is a licensed counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She aims to make starting therapy less intimidating and supports people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps.

Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She also addresses parenting challenges, career concerns, addiction-related issues, and grief. Nicole supports clients facing trauma, intimacy difficulties, bipolar concerns, and life changes that feel hard to handle.

Nicole uses approaches that help people talk through painful memories and build stronger connection patterns. She blends Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centered methods so people can feel heard and understood. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness to teach practical ways to manage intense feelings.

Nicole has helped people with additional challenges such as ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, blended family issues, and questions around gender and identity. She works to make the space judgment-free and collaborative, where goals are set together.

She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and is licensed in Kansas and Missouri while practicing from Florida. Nicole accepts English-speaking clients and also meets international clients through online arrangements. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session when they are ready.

Approach-focused online care that fits your life

Nicole often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. This approach is useful for lingering relationship wounds, attachment concerns, and building more secure ways of relating. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - for teaching hands-on skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that help when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, needs, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning can include mixing strategies from different approaches to match what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time and make regular meetings simpler to keep. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness, DBT skills practice, and attachment-focused conversations to an online setting so clients can progress without changing their daily routine.
