About Nicole
Nicole Reineri is a Licensed Professional Counselor with four years of clinical experience. She blended academic study in psychology with a master’s degree in professional counseling from Lindenwood University. Nicole draws on prior work in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, addiction services, and applied behavior analysis to inform her approach.
Nicole prefers straightforward work in sessions. She helps people sort through thoughts, name emotions, and pay attention to what matters right now.
Background and approach
She places value on acceptance, growth, and practical steps toward feeling more content in daily life. Her background includes practicum work in a high school setting where she led group sessions for at-risk students and provided individual crisis support. She also taught undergraduate introductory psychology at Jefferson College and maintains a independent practice in Missouri.
Nicole uses a blend of methods rather than a single model. She draws on person-centered ideas that center the person's own goals, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action, and cognitive tools to challenge unhelpful thinking. Existential perspectives are used to help people reflect on meaning, choices, and responsibility.
In sessions she aims to be practical and respectful. She helps clients identify patterns that get in the way, practice new responses, and set realistic steps toward change. Nicole frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on the client's goals and lived experience.

Online support
How different approaches guide online sessions
Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who are wrestling with life direction, emptiness, or big changes to think clearly about what matters and decide how to act. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then taking actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and building motivation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own goals and perspectives, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support to help the person find their next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, life context, and preferences, then use one or more approaches to shape sessions. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted based on what is helpful for the individual.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or when writing helps people organize thoughts. These choices make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, parenting, and travel schedules.
