More about Cory

  • 13 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC, LCPC

Aloha, I’m Cory Nicolas, LMHC, LPC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families understand their emotions, heal from trauma, and create meaningful change.

I’m the co-creator of The TRAP Method —a trauma-informed approach that helps clients recognize how past experiences shape present behaviors. My work integrates trauma-informed practices such as Brainspotting, and EMDR to help clients process their experiences and develop healthier emotional responses.

Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and relatable. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship patterns, or simply feeling stuck, I help you identify the “why” behind your reactions and guide you toward lasting transformation.

Specialties: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Dynamics, Emotional Regulation, Stress & Burnout, Personal Growth

Approach: Trauma-Informed, Insight-Oriented, Brainspotting, CBT, Mindfulness

If you’re ready to understand your triggers and rewrite your reactions, I’d be honored to walk with you through that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
