About Nicole
Nicole Onorato Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, depression, trauma and related concerns.
Background and approach
Nicole works with adults ages 18 and up and uses practical tools to help people manage day-to-day pressures and relationship strain. Her style is direct, compassionate, and nonjudgmental.
Sessions often combine talk therapy with actionable skills so clients leave with concrete steps to try between visits. She emphasizes developing healthy habits, self-care routines, and mindfulness practices to support overall well-being.
Nicole integrates several evidence-based approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and build psychological flexibility, and Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns.
The Gottman Method also informs her work with relational concerns. With 12 years of experience, Nicole has worked with people facing grief, breakup and divorce, family problems, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She helps people reframe negative beliefs, repair communication problems, and rebuild self-esteem after loss or major life changes. Nicole offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability to begin therapy.
Approaches for online relationship and stress work
Nicole uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication. This approach focuses on practical exercises that improve understanding, reduce conflict, and strengthen emotional connection where needed. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that match them; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Nicole works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time as needs change so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and feedback. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or flexible communication between scheduled sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use tools learned in sessions in real time.
