About me
I’m Nichole Wojtanowski, a strengths-based licensed therapist who provides gender-affirming, LGBTQIA-affirming care to adults across the life span. I help people facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, ACT, and CBT, delivered with warmth, clarity, and practical skills. I offer flexible telehealth and values-centered work that focuses on your strengths and what matters most to you.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session will include a thorough review of your personal, medical, and mental health history so I can understand the full context of what’s going on. You will find a warm, inviting space where I get to know you as a person and learn your immediate concerns and goals. We will clarify confidentiality and logistics, discuss what you hope to change, and begin a collaborative plan for next steps. You will leave with a clear sense of the treatment approach we’ll use and one or two practical actions to try before the next session.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I offer a strengths-based, warm, and accepting therapy that is affirming and honors each person’s lived experience, and I tailor my approach to what actually works for you. I blend ACT, CBT, and EMDR into collaborative, values-driven work that focuses on practical, measurable steps to reduce anxiety and depression, increase psychological flexibility, and build lasting self-esteem and confidence
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adults who want practical, evidence-based help for anxiety, depression, bipolar spectrum conditions, and low self-esteem, offering gender-affirming, LGBTQIA-affirming care. I combine ACT and CBT to teach skills, set values-driven goals, and support steady, confidence-building change through warm, strengths-based collaboration.

My treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients build a meaningful life guided by their values while reducing the struggle with painful thoughts and feelings. ACT is action-focused rather than symptom-first, teaching practical skills for living fully even when discomfort is present.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain distress, replacing them with realistic, adaptive strategies that improve mood and functioning.
EMDR
I integrate EMDR to help clients process distressing memories and reduce emotional reactivity. Using gentle bilateral stimulation, we work to reframe how past experiences show up in the present. EMDR can be especially helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma-related concerns.
