Her practice includes attention to stress, anxiety, anger, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, with additional focus areas that include post-traumatic stress, self-love, and workplace issues.

Online sessions and therapeutic style



Nikoo offers online work that combines structured skill building with emotionally attuned exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and practice new ways of thinking and behaving, often with practical exercises and tools that clients can apply between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility, while Emotionally-Focused Therapy attends to emotional experience and patterns in relationships.

She frames sessions as collaborative, inviting clients to shape goals and choose techniques that fit their situation.
