About Nick

Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and life transitions. He works with adults, teens, and children and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what’s on their mind. Sessions focus on practical steps and on finding each person’s strengths.

Nick uses straightforward, collaborative conversations to break problems into manageable parts. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Client-centered work shapes the pace and topics so the person sets the priorities.

He has seven years of experience in counseling and has helped people facing depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and issues around identity and intimacy. He also supports parents through play-based approaches that strengthen connection with children.

Nick recognizes how medical marijuana and medications can fit into a person’s plan and discusses those options without judgment. He emphasizes realistic coping skills that people can use between sessions.

Working in Oklahoma, he mentions being an ally to LGBT people navigating stress and stigma. He invites clients to explore values, set goals, and practice small changes that add up. To begin, he asks people to describe what they want to change and what feels most urgent so therapy can be shaped around that.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Nick commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought that fuel anxiety or sleep problems and experimenting with different behaviors to change outcomes. Client-centered work keeps the therapist listening closely and following the individual's pace and priorities, which helps when people bring personal goals like better sleep or coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to test what helps best given their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT exercises for a few sessions, then shifting to more open, client-centered conversations if that fits better.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. If you plan to pursue therapy here, confirm the session formats offered before you book so you know whether video, phone, or another option will be used. Online work can make it simpler to do short check-ins, practice skills between appointments, and maintain continuity during life changes.
