About Nicole
Nicole Onorato Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Georgia with 12 years in practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Nicole describes her work as integrative and practical, using methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Nicole uses a direct and relational style in sessions. She talks with clients about how their personal stories shape thoughts and behaviors. She helps people reframe unhelpful beliefs, develop coping skills, and build day-to-day habits that support emotional health.
Her approach combines several therapy methods so she can match techniques to a client's needs. That can mean practicing mindfulness skills one week and working on communication or CBT-based strategies the next. She also incorporates work on attachment and relationships when relevant.
Nicole emphasizes practical tools alongside reflection. This includes creating self-care routines, learning stress-management tactics, and practicing clearer communication in relationships. Sessions are presented as collaborative - therapist and client set goals and try techniques together.
She has a background in clinical mental health counseling and experience across mood, grief, trauma, and family-of-origin concerns. Geographic practice is in Georgia and sessions are offered in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to virtual care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them. It uses values-based action steps to move toward a meaningful life and can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people identify attachment needs and build clearer ways of relating, which is useful for intimacy issues, family problems, and relationship work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders through behavioral experiments and thought reframing.
Nicole treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This process includes checking in about what techniques feel useful and what needs to change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require it. The therapist will discuss which approaches and session arrangements best fit a client’s daily life and goals.
