About Nicole
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in Hawaii and California with 15 years of experience, Nicole Slutzky helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She works directly with individuals facing panic attacks, caregiver strain, body image worries, and struggles around communication and control.
Nicole uses clear, practical conversation in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice different responses, and build steady coping skills. Sessions focus on specific problems and on small behavior changes that add up over time.
Her work includes support for people dealing with divorce or separation, domestic violence effects, and family conflict. She also addresses feelings of isolation, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose or midlife transition. Nicole helps people who are coping with natural or human-caused disaster recover routines and reduce overwhelming stress.
Nicole’s approach is collaborative. She and the client set goals, try strategies in session, and adjust the plan based on what works. Mindfulness practices are used alongside thought-focused work to reduce anxiety and improve focus.
Sessions are conducted in English. Her license is listed as HI LCSW and CA LCSW. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How CBT and Mindfulness fit into online sessions
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include homework such as thought records or small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and improve mood.Mindfulness Therapy in her work involves brief attention and breathing exercises. These practices support people in noticing stress reactions and calming the nervous system, which is helpful for anxiety, rumination, and concentration problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. Plans are adjusted based on what helps in real life rather than fixed at the first session.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or make shorter check-ins easier. If you prefer a session type for quieter conversation, less bandwidth, or a quick mid-day check-in, mention that when you complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
