About Nicole
Nicole Pyfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed and those coping with grief or major life changes. Nicole focuses on practical, person-focused conversations to help people understand what they are facing and what steps might help.
She takes a systems perspective and looks at how patterns that began in childhood can still affect current behavior and relationships. Nicole works with clients to identify unhelpful beliefs about themselves and replace them with more realistic and kinder self-views. She also has experience supporting people who have been harmed by others and adults who have caused harm.
Nicole uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside other approaches, tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. She aims for clear, respectful dialogue and believes therapy should fit the individual. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on building steady progress.
Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Master’s degree in Counseling: Clinical Mental Health. That mix informs how she understands behavior, systems, and personal responsibility. Nicole emphasizes compassion and practical steps in the work.
People who reach out can expect a calm, direct style and a collaborative process. She frames change as a series of manageable choices and supports people through the effort it takes to try something different.
How Nicole’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s lead to uncover what feels most important. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to speak about stress, grief, or negative self-beliefs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into small steps and experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and habit-based concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding emotional responses and improving how people connect and repair hurts, which can be useful for family-related patterns and attachment issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people meet with a licensed professional from different locations within the same state, making consistent weekly work simpler to maintain.
