Nicole Kough
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor based in the state of Illinois. I have been in the counseling field since 2009 and I have worked with a variety of people throughout those years. I got my Master's in Counseling in 2014. I prefer to work with adults who are experiencing anxiety or depression or couples who are struggling with communication between the two of them.
First session
We will start with an introduction of each other and then I will let you tell me about what brings you to counseling. This is your opportunity to let me know what is going on with you and what you feel is important for me to know about you. I will ask questions and comment as necessary but the main focus of this session will be on you.
Strengths
I am very warm and I do my best to make you feel comfortable opening up about what all you are going through. I do my best to help you see different sides of what you experience and find solutions to those problems.
Ideal clients
I found that I am able to help people with depression, grief and anxiety. I also am able to do couple's counseling.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My goal is for you to come away with a better perspective of situations and find ways to handle future situations as well as work through what you have been through in the past.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I want to help you find specific goals and find the solutions to solve those goals.

I would like to guide conversations to build on communication and listening skills.
