About Nicole
Nicole Byrum is an Ohio LIMFT - Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Nicole learned much of her practice working in community mental health settings. That background exposed her to many different problems and many different people. She often sees clients dealing with addictions, mood disorders, and anxiety, and she also draws on a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy when supporting couples and family-related issues.
Her style is collaborative and practical. She looks for existing strengths and teaches skills people can use between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent tool she uses, and she adapts treatment plans to fit each person’s situation.
Nicole includes approaches that focus on emotions and relationships as needed. She may use Emotionally-Focused Therapy or elements of the Gottman Method for work on intimacy and communication. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform shorter-term goal work and change-focused conversations.
People working with big life questions, such as purpose after a change in work or relationships, can expect straightforward talk about options and next steps. Nicole aims to help clients sort priorities, practice new skills, and make workable plans for what comes next.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they fit
Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns in close relationships and can help with intimacy and communication issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Nicole will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then recommend ways of working that match those needs. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus on skill practice, emotion work, or relationship patterns.
