About Nicole
Nicole Lewandowski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of practice in Wisconsin. She works in a warm, interactive way and treats people with respect and compassion. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.
Nicole helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, compassion fatigue, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and career questions are part of her range of work as well. Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. Nicole also uses mindfulness practices and narrative work, and she includes EMDR methods when trauma-focused processing is helpful.
She adapts the plan to fit each person's goals and pace. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Nicole aims to help people name patterns, try different coping skills, and practice new ways of responding to stress.
She offers straightforward tools and tracks progress together. Over two decades as a social worker and therapist have given her experience with a wide variety of concerns, including neurodiversity and complex attachment or abandonment issues. Her clinical tone stays practical and compassionate, with an emphasis on finding manageable steps forward.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Nicole uses client-centered therapy to make space for each person's story and priorities, focusing on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to practice concrete skills that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is offered as a trauma-focused method to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then tailor a plan that may mix methods. The plan can change as progress is made or as needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when demonstration or visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a tight schedule or use less bandwidth. Messaging and live chat make it easier to check in between meetings or to have brief, focused conversations. These options make it possible to continue work during busy weeks, travel, or when leaving home is difficult.
