About Nicole McLees
About Nicole McLees, LMHC, I'm a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity. With a compassionate, client-centered approach, I provide a safe space for healing, growth, and emotional well-being.
Supporting Children, Teens, and Families
I understand that every stage of life comes with unique emotional struggles. I specialize in working with:
- Children struggling with anxiety, behavioral challenges, and emotional regulation.
- Preteens and teens facing social pressures, identity concerns, academic stress, and mental health struggles.
- Adults coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
- Families seeking better communication, stronger relationships, and conflict resolution strategies.
My goal is to empower my clients with the tools they need to manage emotions, develop resilience, and improve their quality of life.
Creating a Safe and Supportive Space
I know that seeking help can feel overwhelming. That’s why I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where my clients feel heard, valued, and understood. Whether I’m working with a child struggling with anxiety, a teen navigating social pressures, or an adult facing stress and uncertainty, I am committed to providing the guidance and support they need.
Partnering with Schools and Educators
Mental health plays a vital role in a child’s success at school. I collaborate with teachers, school counselors, and administrators to provide insights and strategies that support students' emotional well-being. By working together, we can create a positive environment where children and teens thrive both academically and socially.
A Personalized Approach to Mental Health
I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual’s needs. I uses evidence-based techniques such as:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helping clients reframe negative thoughts and develop healthier coping skills.
- Mindfulness-Based Therapy – Teaching stress management and emotional awareness through mindfulness practices.
- Play Therapy – Engaging children in therapeutic activities to express emotions in a safe way.
- Family Counseling – Strengthening relationships and improving communication between parents, children, and siblings.
By using these approaches, I help clients build confidence and create meaningful, lasting change.
