About Nicole
Nicole Wilbur is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked across hospitals, homecare, hospice, palliative care, brain injury services, and schools. Her background includes individual and group work plus training and workshops for professionals and community members.
Her style is warm and interactive. She uses practical tools drawn from client-centered work, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, and other mind-body strategies. Sessions focus on what the person needs and how they prefer to work, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Nicole helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and trauma. She also supports concerns related to parenting, ADHD, autism spectrum issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and relationship and communication struggles. She can talk through issues from pregnancy and childbirth to end-of-life and hospice concerns.
In sessions she looks for strengths to build on and small skills to practice between meetings. That might include breathing and grounding exercises, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or trying new ways to communicate with loved ones. Sessions can include short skill practice and goal-focused discussion.
Nicole offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their schedule. Her approach is collaborative - she works with each person to shape goals and plans that feel doable. If someone wants guidance on parenting stress, relationship strain, or coping with big life changes, she helps map practical next steps.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities. It means conversations start with what matters most to the individual and sessions are guided by their goals and pace. This approach helps when people need empathetic listening and a plan built around their strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It uses clear steps and homework like tracking thoughts or trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or trouble sleeping. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, adds skills for emotion regulation and managing impulses, which can help with strong mood swings, anger, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you try methods, see what fits, and adjust plans based on your needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process aims to match methods to real-life concerns like parenting stress, grief, or chronic illness coping.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and longer conversation, phone calls can be quieter or require less bandwidth, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit help into busy schedules and different routines.
