About Nichole
Nichole Proulx is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Maine with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. Her approach centers on working with each person as the expert on their life and building a respectful working relationship.
She uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and gentle reflection.
Background and approach
Nichole adapts her style to each person's needs, asking questions when helpful and listening closely when that is preferred. Her work draws on therapies that teach skills for managing strong emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. That means using tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance strategies to reduce suffering and support meaningful change.
She also brings motivational techniques to help people move toward goals they care about. Nichole has experience helping people with attachment concerns, blended family issues, communication problems, grief, infidelity, and coping with life transitions. She supports people facing panic, mood disorders, addiction-related worries, and challenges with sleep, eating, or anger.
Parents can expect practical guidance on balancing caregiving demands with self-care and relationship needs. Conversations can focus on setting boundaries, improving communication, and developing routines that fit family life. The emphasis is on what works day to day and fits each family's values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by focusing on what matters most rather than getting stuck in worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns. It often helps with panic attacks, mood issues, sleep problems, and managing difficult emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to use and adjust the plan as progress is made and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people work face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter, flexible check-ins between sessions or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting schedules and daily life.
