About Nicole
LCSW in California with 12 years of experience, Nicole Ladner-Pace helps people address relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on communication problems, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, and concerns common to young adults. Nicole practices in English and works with adults seeking practical ways to manage stress and rebuild day-to-day functioning.
Nicole uses straightforward conversation to clarify what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behavior, then works with clients to try small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions include moments of reflection, skill practice, and planning next steps between meetings.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment awareness. Narrative and solution-focused methods are used when helpful to reframe stories people tell about themselves and to set manageable goals.
Nicole emphasizes collaboration and clear, practical steps. She describes the work as a series of short experiments rather than endless analysis. This makes it easier to track progress and adjust plans when something isn’t working.

How Nicole uses therapy approaches in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience. In practice this means the therapist listens closely to what matters to the client and builds sessions around those priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to sort out feelings and make decisions about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new ways of thinking, and practicing small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and managing stress related to relationships.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and present-moment awareness skills. These exercises can reduce reactivity and support clearer communication and emotional regulation between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Nicole will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is tracked and needs change.
