Nikki Ciletti

Nikki Ciletti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered work that helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel more capable in daily life.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients set the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand strong feelings and improve emotional connection in relationships.

Nikki has worked with many concerns over her career, including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing career stresses, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with adoptive and foster families, blended family issues, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

In sessions she focuses on clear, doable strategies - small steps that add up. She helps people make sense of patterns and try different responses to old problems. The emphasis is on building skills that transfer into everyday situations.

People seeking help for panic attacks, social anxiety, communication problems, or recovery from domestic violence and substance use will find a practical orientation to care. Nikki aims to collaborate with each client to set goals and check progress as work proceeds.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. Online work using this approach emphasizes the client's goals and comfort, helping them shape sessions that fit their needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors between sessions. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, panic, anger, and mood concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions that affect relationships. Online sessions can be used to notice how feelings show up and try different ways of relating or communicating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to prioritize and adjust them as needed.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find this flexibility helps them maintain regular appointments and try new skills in everyday life.
