About Nichole

Nichole Proulx is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Maine with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions. Nichole also addresses relationship and parenting concerns and helps people manage addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems.

Her work is grounded in a person-centered style that treats the client as the expert on their life. She listens and adapts her approach depending on whether someone wants more questions and structure or a quieter space to speak. She emphasizes straightforward feedback, occasional humor, and open communication.

Nichole draws from several practical therapies to help people change patterns that cause pain. She uses cognitive and behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thinking. She also incorporates acceptance-based ideas to help people live with difficult emotions without avoidance.

She has substantial experience with family-related strains such as blended family issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems. Nichole also works with attachment concerns, infidelity, communication problems, and the ongoing effects of past trauma.

Clients describing struggles with mood disorders, panic, dissociation, ADHD, or personality-related challenges will find approaches that focus on skills, coping, and clearer communication. For people balancing parenting duties and career stress, she offers practical strategies to reduce daily strain. The practice communicates in English and operates from Maine.

To begin, the process asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and tests them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's style, and adjust plans based on what helps. Sessions often mix skill practice, reflection, and problem-solving so clients leave with concrete steps to use between meetings.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets therapists and clients focus on communication skills, thought exercises, and behavior experiments that transfer into home life without promising particular session types.
