About Nicole

Nicole Phelan is a licensed clinical social worker based in central Maine who brings nearly a decade of clinical experience to her practice. With a focus on depression, anxiety, parenting and family concerns, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, attachment challenges, and eating or relationship struggles, she works with individuals facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. She has supported many people who have experienced physical or sexual trauma and emotional abuse, and welcomes active military and veterans, drawing on her own service in the Army Reserve for eight years and a tour of duty in Iraq in 2003-2004.

Nicole's approach is warm, direct, and interactive, combining practical skills with compassionate support. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she uses evidence-informed methods to help clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and address difficult past experiences. She values time spent outdoors and often encourages activities in nature as a way to boost self-esteem, improve day-to-day coping, and process challenging memories.

Seeking change requires courage, and Nicole aims to empower clients to take those first steps toward a fuller, more satisfying life. She offers a respectful, dignified environment and partners with clients to set goals and explore paths to healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Nicole draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her work with clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding and healing relational patterns that stem from early bonds, and it can be effective for family issues, relationship struggles, and attachment-related concerns. Nicole blends these approaches with practical strategies to address trauma, parenting challenges, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicole works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy remains responsive and client-centered.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access care from different locations and on varied timelines. For many people, working with licensed professionals in these formats makes it easier to maintain consistency, fit therapy into busy lives, and continue progress even when in-person visits are not convenient.
