About me
I am a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin with 19 years of experience working with adults in outpatient settings. I work with clients facing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, stress management, and emotional regulation. I also support individuals managing ADHD, trauma, and self-esteem challenges.
My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and holistic. I tailor each session to your unique needs, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and mindfulness-based approaches. I believe in honoring the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being and in creating a space where all clients feel heard, respected, and valued. I am sensitive to the cultural, social, and personal experiences that shape your story.
It takes courage to invest in your growth and take meaningful steps toward change. If you're ready to begin that journey, I’m here to support and empower you along the way.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Nicholson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Michael is not only a therapist in my eyes , he’s my mentor and fatherly figure that I can see in my life . When I was in my darkest time in anxiety , he helped me out in so many ways . He showed me that there is no reward by reacting and simply breathing your emotions out . I love that every topic that we go over , he takes time with me to break them down one by one . He’s very punctual , organized , and very attentive when it comes to our sessions .
