Getting to know Kristen Nickol
Hello! My name is Kristen Nickol, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. With almost 10 years of experience in the field, my goal is to create a safe space for my clients by meeting them where they are and helping them on their journeys to becoming the best versions of themselves. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, depression, relationships, and autism spectrum disorder.
My approach
In therapy, I am non-judgmental and empathetic to my clients’ needs and utilize a strengths-based approach. To help clients meet their goals, I incorporate elements of CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy.
My focus
While I work with children in the school setting on a full-time basis, in the clinical therapy setting I truly enjoy working with clients ranging in age from 20 to 35. Many life transitions occur during young adulthood, which can often trigger worry, anxiety, or depression. I enjoy helping clients navigate these changes while also supporting them in finding ways to cope and manage the challenges they face.
My communication style
I am empathetic and non-judgmental in all sessions. When you meet with me, you can trust that I will maintain an unbiased and safe space for you to share your story and your goals for therapy.
My journey to mental healthcare
As someone who has always dealt with anxiety myself, I knew from the moment I took my first social work course that this was the right path for me. I truly enjoy helping others recognize their potential and achieve goals that may have once felt impossible. I firmly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, and it fills my heart to provide a safe space where my clients can learn and grow.
My goals for you
When setting goals with clients, I use a strengths-based and solution-focused approach.
