About Nicole
Nicole Spahl is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of experience based in Arizona. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life changes. Nicole focuses on improving how people relate to themselves and others.
She meets people where they are and works in a calm, direct way. Her style is relationship-centered. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment ideas to look at how past bonds affect present feelings.
Background and approach
Nicole also uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice thought patterns and DBT skills for managing strong emotions. Sessions are conversational and practical so people leave with clear steps to try. Nicole often works with concerns that touch relationships and identity, such as parenting strain, LGBT concerns, communication problems, and family of origin issues.
She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, panic attacks, postpartum struggles, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to attachment wounds like abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, and isolation. Her approach centers the person rather than labels.
She listens first, helps people notice what keeps them stuck, and then practices new ways of responding. Nicole explains tools in plain language and checks in about what feels useful. Sessions may include talking, skill practice, and short between-session suggestions.
The aim is to build steadier emotion regulation, clearer communication, and a kinder relationship with oneself. Nicole welcomes people who want steady guidance and practical next steps.

Online support
How Emotion and Attachment Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying core feelings and how those emotions shape relationships. It helps people notice and express vulnerable feelings so connections feel clearer and safer. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bond patterns and how they show up now, helping people understand repeated reactions to stress and change.Nicole approaches treatment collaboratively. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of approaches to try and adjust the plan as needed based on how things are progressing.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for deeper emotional work and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick reflections, skill reminders, or ongoing connection between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving, or travel.
