Nikki Layne, LPCC — Therapist in Kentucky

Hi there, I'm Nikki!

I specialize in helping clients navigate stress and anxiety, LGBTQI+ issues, motivation, self-esteem, addiction, and depression. Through my work in community mental health, rehabilitation, and school settings, I support individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns.

My focus

I work extensively with individuals facing dual diagnoses and the comorbidity of substance use and mental health issues. As a proud member of the LGBTQI community, I am deeply passionate about supporting fellow community members. I strive to empower individuals to thrive by providing essential services and resources.

My approach

As an eclectic counselor, I draw from person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and various other approaches. This flexibility allows me to tailor our work to your unique needs and what resonates most with you.

My communication style

I foster a welcoming environment where you feel empowered and in control of your therapeutic journey. By introducing questions and topics as they arise, I guide you in cultivating new skills and enhancing self-awareness. This collaborative approach places your unique needs and goals at the heart of our work.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into counseling is deeply influenced by my personal experiences with self-identity, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about creating a safe and open environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I am inspired by the resilience of the human spirit.

My goals for you

Together, we will identify your specific goals and aspirations, ensuring they are meaningful and achievable for you. My role is to provide the tools, resources, and support necessary to help you accomplish these goals. This collaborative process fosters ownership over your progress and encourages personal growth.

Our first session

Our first session will be a longer, in-depth conversation dedicated to getting to know each other and building rapport. I will ask questions to gather comprehensive information about your history, relationships, and the goals you hope to achieve. This thorough assessment allows us to tailor future sessions to your needs.
