About Me
My name is Nicole Sommersville and I'm a wife, mommy, Air Force veteran, and Marriage and Family Therapist. I have over 7 years of experience working with diverse clients of different backgrounds, lifestyles, and stages of life. Some of the most common concerns I have assisted my clients with are anger management, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships (family and intimate), and goal attainment.
As a person and therapist, I would describe myself as loving, tough, fair, and informal. I provide a non-judgmental space and encourage my clients to speak freely and be their authentic selves, don’t sugarcoat, don’t censor; just be who you are so we can help you reach your goals.
I have adopted a blended approach of Bowenian and Alderian theories as a foundation of my practice, and I employ cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and reflective listening skills as primary tools for treatment.
While I can't guarantee that I can help you turn your "lemons into lemonade" I will be there to help you accept the lemon for what it is and explore the many options you have with the lemon.
Thank you for looking at my profile, I look forward to meeting you.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nicole Sommersville. 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.
This was my first time trying therapy and Nicole made it such an incredible experience! She was able to pinpoint my issues in a short amount of time and helped me work on strategies to overcome them. She always made me feel heard and seen and I greatly appreciate her expertise and candidness. Such an amazing therapist and vibe in general!
Nicole is, by far, the best therapist I have ever had. She listens, she challenges me, she is nonjudgmental and is a wealth of information.
Nicole is an absolute angel and one hell of a woman. For me, starting therapy was ... strange at first. I would like to describe my reasonings for starting therapy as an instrument of "fine tuning" to my life. The unfortunate reality is that I am poor & lower class, so therapy is one hell of a financial 'splurge' for me. Yes, I have read self-help books, and yes, they can be useful, but I don't foresee myself gaining emotional support from tear-soaked pages... Needless to say, I felt incomplete without that special 'someone' to filter my thoughts & feelings to. (I am human after all). Nicole makes me comfortable and puts me in an optimistic mood every time we speak. I am given the necessary tools, guidance and worksheets I need in order to gain an understanding for ALL of my situations - (and hey, I am a sucker for some homework and independent studies!). I implement everything she teaches me and I am excited to report my findings and results with her each and every week. I finally feel like I am understanding myself on a deeper level, which is making the process feel incredibly worth it. I love this woman to bits - highly recommend. : )
She is awesome; she is my warrior and my therapist - finally someone who fights for me and I don’t always have to be the strong one
Nicole is an insightful counselor that shares a variety of material and advise on how to recognize and process behavioral patterns. I find her to be resourceful, informative and comforting.
Helping me every step of the way I really appreciate how caring she is. I see my light bad it is still far away I can at least see it now
She is fantastic!
I have had more progress with Nicole in a short few months than I’ve had in years previously! I already feel like a better version of myself.
Nicole is very insightful. She always manages to assist me in working thru whatever issues I have going on day to day. She knows exactly what questions to ask me so together we can craft a solution. I am really glad I was connected with her thru BetterHelp.
