Nicole Onorato Hunter, LPC

Attachment and Action Online

Nicole uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when people notice repeating trust, abandonment, or closeness problems in relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take small committed actions even when emotions are hard. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where people want to build a meaningful routine.

Nicole also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques into online work to target thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. CBT helps with anxiety, mood shifts, and coping skills by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Together these methods give a mix of insight, values-driven action, and practical skill building.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor techniques across these methods. This is a collaborative decision so clients can try ideas and change course as needed.

Online sessions include video calls, phone meetings, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text is handy for quick check-ins or when written reflection helps. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work across locations.
