Great to meet you!

Greetings! My name is Dr. Nicole Donato. However, please feel free to call me Nicole. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a life-long lover of knowledge evident by my two master's degrees and PhD in Psychology. Additionally, I knew as a teenage girl that I wanted to become a therapist. Thus, since 2006 I have been licensed as a professional counselor.

When I started college, I never dreamed of a day that technology would offer a conduit upon which effective therapy services could be provided. Thus, I enjoy working collaboratively with clients through remote counseling to heal emotional disturbances.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy centers on person centered therapy. Thus, it is my belief that the therapeutic process can help clients to activate their own self-healing capacities. However, there are other treatment modalities that I employ, such cognitive behavior therapy and motivational interviewing, to assist clients to actualize their own potential for wholeness, growth, and inner directedness.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a safe therapeutic setting from which they can explore and become aware of the blocks to their growth and development. Additionally, the aim therapy is to help clients to be able to better cope with present as well as future problems. Thus, I aim to provide clients with tools for their toolbox from which they can draw from long after our work together has concluded.
