Nicole Reineri

Nicole Reineri earned her undergraduate degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling from Lindenwood University. Before becoming a clinician, she built experience in vocational rehabilitation, pain management, drug and alcohol addiction services, and applied behavior analysis. Her counseling practicum took place at Northwest High School, where she led group sessions for at-risk youth and provided individual crisis support to students.

Nicole also taught introductory undergraduate psychology at Jefferson College and continues to see clients in her private practice in Missouri. She is licensed to practice as a professional counselor in Missouri and brings four years of clinical experience to her work.

Nicole approaches therapy with an eclectic, client-centered perspective. She helps people sort through thoughts, identify feelings, and attend to their present experience using techniques drawn from person-centered and solution-focused models, Gestalt methods, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Her aim is to support clients in building coping skills, gaining new perspectives, and moving toward the outcomes they hope to achieve, including greater contentment and a more calm, fulfilling life.

Acceptance, understanding, and a clear focus on growth inform Nicole’s work across a wide range of concerns. She combines her academic background, prior professional roles, and passion for helping others to guide clients through life’s challenges and transitions.
