Welcome! I'm Nicole Byrne, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering online therapy across California and Nevada. I specialize in working with high-functioning women—including mothers and professionals—who are burned out from years of over-functioning, people-pleasing, and feeling responsible for everyone's emotions and outcomes. If you're exhausted from carrying too much for too long, if you snap at your kids and spiral with guilt, if you say yes when you mean no and can't remember the last time you felt like yourself—you're not alone, and you're not failing. You're burnt out. My approach is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a values-based, evidence-informed method focused on understanding patterns, building emotional flexibility, and creating sustainable change. When appropriate, I integrate trauma-informed tools including EMDR and the Flash Technique. Together, we'll work on: - Understanding where over-functioning and people-pleasing started - Building boundaries that protect your energy without guilt - Reconnecting with yourself and what actually matters to you - Creating space to breathe again—without abandoning your responsibilities You don't need to become a "better" version of yourself. You just need support in putting down what was never yours to carry. To learn more or schedule a free 20-minute consultation, visit counselingwithnicole.com
