Nicole Canedo, LCSW

Nicole Canedo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience based in Nevada. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady support and practical steps forward. Nicole aims to make first contacts easy for someone who is worried or unsure about starting therapy.

Nicole helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include ADHD, blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and infidelity.

In sessions she listens without judgment and encourages honest conversation about thoughts and feelings. She works collaboratively to set goals and to pick simple skills clients can use between meetings. The work is down-to-earth and paced to what each person can manage.

Nicole draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Narrative Therapy to reframe life stories and Psychodynamic ideas to understand longstanding patterns that affect current relationships.

People who prefer a practical, conversational approach tend to fit well with her style. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to accommodate different needs. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices under her Nevada LCSW credential.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and shift actions that keep problems going; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell a different story about their experiences and regain a sense of agency in relationships and life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaboration helps shape what happens in sessions and how progress is measured.

Online therapy with Nicole is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer meetings, making therapy easier to fit into a busy life.
