About Nicole
Nicole Reineri is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She brings a calm, direct style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and addiction-related concerns. Nicole uses practical, down-to-earth language so people can start making changes sooner.
She earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from Lindenwood University after completing an undergraduate degree in psychology. Before becoming a therapist she worked in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, drug and alcohol addiction services, and applied behavior analysis.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her approach to real-life problems and coping skills. Nicole’s clinical experience includes a practicum conducting group sessions for at-risk youth and providing individual crisis counseling at Northwest High School. She also taught introductory psychology at the college level and continues to see clients in independent practice.
This mix of school-based, clinical, and teaching work informs how she structures sessions and explains difficult ideas. Her style blends client-centered care with evidence-based tools. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and attachment, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thought patterns.
Sessions typically focus on helping people sort thoughts, name feelings, and try small changes between meetings. Nicole aims to support growth without quick labels. She frames struggles as patterns that can be understood and shifted.
The goal is practical movement toward more calm, clearer decisions, and a life that feels more manageable.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and how those emotions shape close connections. Online sessions can use EFT techniques to explore painful feelings and attachment patterns through guided conversation and reflective exercises.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when emotions are difficult. In virtual sessions, ACT work often includes values clarification, short behavioral experiments, and simple at-home practices to try between meetings.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on being listened to without judgment and on building a trusting relationship. That approach guides how sessions are paced online, with attention to what feels most important to the person in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can shift over time as progress or new concerns emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a brief check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to get short reflections, homework prompts, or timely support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
