About Nicole
Nicole Pyfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of paid professional experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family problems, and life changes. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, control issues, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Nicole earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Master’s Degree in Counseling: Clinical Mental Health. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and with adults who have caused harm to others. She brings that experience to sessions in a practical way.
Her approach uses a systems perspective to notice patterns that began in childhood and still affect daily life. She pays attention to behaviors and feelings that repeat, and helps people name them. Conversations aim to replace negative self-beliefs with more realistic, manageable ways of thinking.
Nicole blends client-centered conversation with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She also draws on existential and Imago relationship ideas when they fit the client’s concerns. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on small, doable changes.
People often come for help with coping skills, clearer thinking, and repairing relationships with themselves or others. Nicole works to adjust her questions and tools to the person in front of her, so treatment matches what that person needs next.
Therapeutic approaches you may use online
Nicole often uses client-centered therapy, which centers on listening and following the person's concerns so conversations feel relevant and respectful. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that fit their life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and self-critical thoughts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) appears in her work to help people recognize and name strong feelings, and to work on patterns that affect close relationships.
Figuring out the right approach is part of how she works. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on how the sessions go.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can still use focused tools like CBT worksheets or emotion-focused exercises in remote sessions, and the therapist will help plan practical next steps between meetings.
