About Nicole
Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Iowa with 11 years of professional experience, Nicole Wells helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and grief.
Nicole frames work around practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She keeps conversations focused and direct, and adapts how she works to each person's situation. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes a range of clinical settings across Iowa and Nebraska over more than a decade. That experience informs a straightforward approach to problems like panic attacks, postpartum depression, social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, and post-traumatic stress.
Nicole also addresses family of origin issues, family problems, gender dysphoria concerns, and end-of-life and hospice related counseling. She discusses specific life circumstances and helps people identify manageable next steps when grief, caregiving, or major role changes are present.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems active and works with clients to replace them with clearer habits and responses. The focus is on practical skills, steady progress, and realistic planning rather than abstract theory.
People considering therapy are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how the approach fits their needs.

How evidence-based methods guide remote sessions
Nicole uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and measurable steps. Cognitive approaches teach people to notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against reality, which can reduce worry and social anxiety. Trauma-informed strategies help people stabilize symptoms, manage triggers, and build routines that reduce the intensity of panic and post-traumatic stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend which techniques to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
The practical aim of online work is to fit therapy into everyday life. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and they can use shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can guide skill practice between meetings so progress continues outside session times.
