Hello my name is Nicole and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of South Carolina, and I have been working as a counselor since 2006. I look forward to the possibility of getting to have the opportunity to work with you, and being able to be part of your mental health journey.
I feel that my counseling style is warm and inviting while trying to remain focused on my clients individual needs. I believe that the sessions are for the client and I try work to meet clients were they are by approaching the counseling sessions with understanding and compassion. I use techniques from many different theoretical counseling approaches and some examples of the commonly used approaches would be cognitive behavioral (CBT), solution focused therapy, and/or motivation interviewing approaches to work with my clients to determine their treatment goals and needs.
I have been offering session using BetterHelp for the last 2 years and before my time with BetterHelp I had practiced for 15 years (2006 to 2021) in a community behavioral health setting. I have had the opportunity to work with clients experiencing issues related to addiction, depression, anxiety, coping with stressors, life changes, relationship and/or family issues, trauma, ADD/ADHD, to name a few. I have completed my undergraduate program in addictions studies from University of Cincinnati and have also completed a Masters in Education program from Lindsey Wilson College majoring in Mental Health Counseling.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I look forward to getting to work with you,
Nicole Schellinger M. Ed, LPCC-S, LPC

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Nicole has been there as my sounding board many times. I saw my mental health dwindling down after giving birth to my son, and Nicole remains a unbiased third party to my numerous complaints. She is a listener and I don’t feel pressured to respond. She validated my emotions and continues to offer her thoughts on my situations. Nicole is the best and I’m very thankful for her!

Nicole is the kindest person I've had the pleasure of meeting. Therapy is very new and uncomfortable to me. She has away of being empathetic and motivating at the same time. She stays engaged in conversations and remembers details you shared from the very beginning. Highly impressed with her level of professionalism.
