About Nicole
Nicole Forester is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 16 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She offers straightforward, non-judgmental listening to help people name what matters to them. Nicole welcomes direct, honest conversation and encourages clients to speak their full truth as a starting point for change.
Her style is calm and grounded. She aims to help people hear their own voice and notice what they want to be different.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and gaining tools to cope with day-to-day challenges like sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, and compulsive behaviors. Nicole integrates Jungian therapy ideas with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
That means she pays attention to personal meanings, inner symbols, and values while also using concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. The work can include talking, reflective exercises, and practical homework between sessions. She trained in music therapy at Utah State University and completed a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix.
Her background includes inpatient units, addiction recovery services, outpatient and intensive-outpatient programs, hospice work with children and teens, and a independent practice in San Francisco. Nicole practices as LPC and LPCC in Colorado and works with adults on issues like coping with life changes, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, and gender dysphoria.
She invites prospective clients to ask questions and to interview her to see if the fit feels right.

Online support
How Jungian ideas and mindful action translate online
Jungian therapy looks at personal symbols, dreams, and inner stories to help people find meaning and direction. It can help when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure about life purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and small committed actions so people can move toward the life they want even with difficult thoughts and feelings.Nicole blends these perspectives with a client-centered stance, meaning she follows the client’s pace and priorities. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and have deeper conversations. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently across life changes.
