Nicole Wilbur

Nicole Wilbur is a licensed social worker practicing in Michigan. She brings 19 years of experience from hospital, homecare, hospice, palliative care, brain injury, and school settings. Nicole works one-on-one and in groups and provides workshops and resources for community members and professionals.

Her style is warm and interactive. She combines practical tools such as mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques with mind-body approaches to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building skills that can be used outside of therapy.

Nicole has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction. She has also helped those affected by trauma, sexual assault, and chronic illness. Family problems, communication challenges, parenting strain, and divorce and separation are among the concerns she addresses.

She uses a collaborative process to shape a plan that fits goals and personality. That plan may include mindfulness practices, behavioral strategies, and skills training drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing as appropriate. The therapist emphasizes practical steps that make daily life easier and relationships clearer.

Nicole invites clients to move toward the changes they want at a manageable pace. She focuses on concrete tools and steady progress while respecting each person’s pace and priorities.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people clarify goals and use their own strengths to solve problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress related to life changes or separation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills teach practical coping tools for intense emotions and difficult moments. Skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication techniques useful in relationship and family challenges.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust the plan over time. This helps make sure the work feels useful and manageable.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists work with clients to match session length and frequency to what fits into everyday life.
