Nicole Kleiman-Reck

I am currently accepting new clients via teletherapy.

I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 20 years, largely with a focus in the areas of depression, anxiety, thought disturbance, addiction, emotion regulation, relationship distress, and self-esteem. I am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and have worked with individuals of various ages across the Autism Spectrum. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual therapy/relational realm.

I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and tailor my approach on an individual basis. I believe in client autonomy so the areas that are addressed are the areas you want to address.

I currently focus on applying IFS (Internal Family Systems) in my practice and also integrate other treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I also have completed training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as the Developmental Model for Couples and integrate both of these approaches into my couples therapy practice.

Overall, I help you to see that managing the stressor is more important than just managing the stress as it will allow you to cope with anything that comes your way.

My strengths as a therapist are longevity and experience. I have been practicing for over 20 years and have gained a lot of insight on what is often underneath the mental pain many people endure. I see each person's character before their problems and prioritize the therapeutic relationship in order to confront clients in a way that is non-threatening but collaborative and focused on growth.
