Nicole Carlisle

When social situations, big feelings, or school and family challenges feel overwhelming, it can help to have someone who sees the person behind the labels. I support children and teens navigating autism, ADHD, social anxiety, and difficulty connecting with others. I also work with concerns such as anxiety, anger, depression, family issues, bipolar disorder, LGBTQIA+ concerns, trauma, and PTSD.

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with nine years of experience. I earned my Master of Social Work from Wayne State University, and I offer virtual therapy in English.

I bring warmth, acceptance, and a client-centered approach to our work. I want to understand what matters to you and your child, and to shape therapy around your goals. Depending on the person and their needs, I may use conversation, play, cognitive and behavioral strategies, strengths-based work, interpersonal therapy, or practical problem-solving.

You can expect a supportive, open-minded space where your child or teen can be met with care and curiosity. We’ll work together on goals that feel meaningful and identify helpful ways to navigate emotions, relationships, and everyday challenges. The pace and focus will be guided by the needs and goals you bring to therapy.
