Nicole Pyfer

Nicole Pyfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Nicole aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can begin making practical shifts in their day-to-day lives.

She often looks at current problems through a systems perspective. That means she helps people notice patterns that began in childhood and still affect relationships and decisions now. Nicole also works with people processing trauma, and with those who recognize they have caused harm and want to understand those behaviors.

Nicole uses a mix of approaches depending on the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace, and she uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Emotionally-focused and existential ideas guide conversations about meaning, connection, and strong emotions.

Clients bring many concerns, from attachment and abandonment wounds to issues with body image, control, or impulsivity. She also supports people coping with divorce or family problems, addiction patterns, shame, and questions of self-worth and life purpose. Narcissism is listed among the focus areas she addresses.

Nicole holds a Master’s degree in Counseling: Clinical Mental Health and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. She tailors each treatment plan to the person’s goals and circumstances. To begin, she encourages people to take that first step and reach out when they feel ready.

How therapy methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. Online sessions using this approach let people set the pace and bring whatever matters most to them each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. That can include at-home practice between sessions and real-world experiments to notice change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to schedule around work or family commitments. Many people also find it helpful to do therapy from wherever they are most comfortable, which can help maintain consistency over time.
