About Nicolle
Nicolle Atchison is a licensed marriage and family therapist who guides people through hard moments with calm and straightforward support. She offers evening and Saturday appointments to fit busy schedules and focuses on helping people move forward from pain, worry, or loss.
Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person. Sessions are nonjudgmental and aim to be practical. Nicolle emphasizes listening first, then working together to find steps that feel doable in daily life.
She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and stress. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family topics, career stress, and struggles with self-esteem or life purpose. Additional focuses include blended family issues, codependency, fatherhood concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and compassion fatigue.
Nicolle uses client-centered methods alongside emotionally-focused, existential, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches. That mixture helps tailor conversations to what matters most to the person in front of her. Expect clear, compassionate feedback and practical options to try between sessions.
With five years of clinical experience and a Washington Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential (LMFT), she aims to help people reconnect with what matters. The first steps are simple: select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an appointment that fits your availability.
How Nicolle blends approaches for online care
Client-centered work focuses on the person in the room. It means the therapist follows a person’s lead, listens deeply, and helps them find their own answers. This approach can help when someone needs to feel heard and understood before making changes.Emotionally-focused work looks at patterns in close relationships and the emotions driving them. It can help people who struggle with intimacy-related issues, repeated fights, or feeling disconnected from partners or loved ones. Existential therapy addresses bigger questions about meaning, choice, and life transitions, which can be useful during midlife shifts or when someone feels lost.
Finding the right approach is often part of the work. Nicolle will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make scheduling easier for people with busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for continuity when life gets hectic. They also let someone choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule better. Talk with the therapist to decide how online work can fit into everyday life and treatment goals.
