Nicole Kindt is a licensed counselor practicing in both Montana and Colorado. She earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Montana State University in 2008 and holds LPC and LCPC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - reflecting her formal training and state licensure.

With 15 years of clinical experience, Nicole has worked in a variety of settings and developed strong expertise with children and young adults, along with extensive experience in family therapy and parent support. She guides parents through challenging situations and helps families navigate major life transitions such as grief and loss, divorce, career changes, and children leaving for college. She also works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, anger management concerns, and survivors of abuse and other traumatic events.

Nicole’s counseling style is open and grounded in meeting people where they are. She emphasizes compassion, sensitivity, and acceptance to help clients feel supported while engaging in the often difficult work of self-exploration. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, person-centered principles, and reality-based methods, allowing her to tailor care to each person’s goals and needs. She aims to foster resilience, practical coping skills, and a path toward greater self-understanding.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Nicole draws from client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s experiences and goals guide the work; this approach is useful for building trust, exploring identity, and strengthening relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are incorporated when clients need tools for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, making them helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the clinical process. Nicole collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress. This collaborative decision making helps ensure therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, geographic limitations, or mobility concerns. These modalities allow ongoing contact with licensed professionals and therapists, offering consistent support and practical tools that can be integrated into daily life.
