Nicole Shaddix-Olsen

Nicole Shaddix-Olsen is a licensed counselor who focuses on supporting people through major life transitions and emotional challenges. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings nine years of professional experience to her work in Florida. Nicole aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgment.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people manage stress and anxiety. Nicole also addresses relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. She offers support for issues related to identity, addictions, bipolar disorder, and intimacy concerns.

Nicole draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. She also works in a client-centered way, listening carefully and following the person’s pace. Mindfulness tools and DBT skills can be used to manage emotions and reduce overwhelm.

For trauma-related work she may integrate EMDR where appropriate and agreed on by the person seeking help. She also attends to practical concerns like career stress, caregiver strain, and life purpose questions that come up during transitions. Nicole welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, she asks people to pick the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling follows based on therapist availability, and the practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses. Online sessions use conversation to map those patterns and build new ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping people feel heard and understood while they set their own goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying different tools and tracking what helps most over time.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during breaks. It also makes it possible for international clients and those juggling careers or caregiving to connect without rearranging their whole schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness practices, DBT skills training, and attachment-focused conversations to remote sessions as appropriate.
