About Nick
Nick Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of concerns. He aims to meet people where they are and work with them to find practical steps forward. Sessions are intended to be calm, non-judgmental, and focused on the client's day-to-day needs. He presents as an ally for LGBTQ+ clients navigating stress and anxiety in challenging environments.
Nick uses clear, straightforward methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered work, and mindfulness strategies to break problems into manageable pieces. He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas and existential questions when they fit the person's goals.
He has seven years of experience working with adults, teens, and children. That background includes supporting people with ADHD and guiding parents through play-based approaches that strengthen connection. He is open to discussing how medication, including medical marijuana, may interact with counseling work when clients bring it up.
In sessions he focuses on building on strengths, teaching coping skills, and practicing small changes that add up. People often work on stress, anxiety, sleep, substance use, mood shifts, grief, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem. He also addresses career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and other life transitions.
Therapy with Nick is collaborative. He helps set clear goals, checks in on progress, and adjusts methods as needed. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.
How certain approaches can work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to help them feel heard and discover their own solutions. It is useful when someone needs space to sort feelings, build self-acceptance, or talk through identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for regulating intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone wants concrete strategies to cope.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays useful and relevant.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their energy - for example, an audio-only call if video feels draining, or a longer video session when deeper conversation is needed. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and rhythm to match day-to-day life and goals.
