Nikki Hammonds, LCSW
ONLINE PSYCHOTHERAPY | NORTH CAROLINA
Integrative therapy focused on you.
Hi, I'm Nikki.
I work with thoughtful individuals who are often holding more than others realize—whether that shows up as anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or symptoms that don’t fully make sense.
Together, we bring clarity to what’s underneath the surface, identify what’s truly driving symptoms, and develop practical, personalized strategies that actually fit your life.
I specialize in supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety, mood concerns, and complex or persistent symptoms—including situations where the full picture may not yet be clear.
Working With Me
Therapy is all about finding a good fit.
Choosing a therapist is difficult, and I know how important it is to feel safe and supported in order to grow. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on your needs.
I draw from proven psychotherapy modalities while remaining attentive to the broader factors that have shaped your life, including prolonged stress, trauma history, health-related concerns, and family dynamics.
We work together to understand the full picture of what you’re experiencing and to develop strategies that feel realistic, sustainable, and aligned with your values.
Who I Work With
I provide individual therapy throughout North Carolina via a secure telehealth platform. Non-clinical services are also offered via telehealth, both inside and outside of North Carolina.
Therapy is well suited for those navigating complex, high-demand seasons of life. Many of my clients are:
- Experiencing anxiety, stress, or burnout
- Managing high levels of responsibility or care coordination
- Feeling depleted, on edge, or stretched beyond capacity
- Adjusting to major life transitions, health-related stressors, or prolonged uncertainty
- Parents/caregivers of individuals with autism, ADHD, PANS/PANDAS, or other complex conditions
You don’t need to be in crisis to begin therapy—many clients come simply because they’re tired of carrying so much alone.
Areas of Experience & Perspective
My clinical work has included supporting individuals and families across a range of contexts, including:
- Complex medical & mental health conditions
- College students & young adults
- Parents & caregivers
- Women navigating peri/menopause
- Military-connected individuals
- Biomedical & integrative approaches to healing & health
I bring both professional and lived experience navigating conditions such as PANS/PANDAS, ADHD, and autism. I understand firsthand the challenges that accompany prolonged uncertainty, fragmented care, and chronic stress. This perspective allows me to see beyond symptoms alone; recognizing the pressures and patterns that shape daily life for individuals and families.
I am also the spouse of a retired military veteran and have a deep appreciation for the unique rhythms, stressors, and strengths of military life.
What to Expect
Therapy is a private, supportive space where you can finally slow things down and talk openly about what you’re carrying. In our work together, you can expect space to:
- Make sense of what you’re feeling, especially when things have been building for a long time
- Learn ways to calm your body and mind when stress feels overwhelming
- Set healthier boundaries and feel less depleted by the demands around you
- Talk honestly about the impact of things you are going through and the choices you are making
- Move toward changes that feel realistic and sustainable for your life
We’ll go at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of where you are. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, supported, and less alone as you navigate what’s in front of you.
Getting Started
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to being the one holding everything together. If you’re considering therapy, I offer a 15-minute complimentary telephone consultation as a low-pressure way for us to connect. This gives you a chance to share what’s been weighing on you, ask questions, and see if working together feels like a good fit. There’s no obligation to move forward after the call.
If we decide to continue, therapy sessions offer a steady, supportive space to talk through challenges such as anxiety, low mood, trauma, caregiver stress, or difficult life transitions. My role is to help you feel heard, supported, and better equipped to cope with what you’re facing at a pace that feels realistic for your life.
All therapy sessions are provided via secure telehealth to individuals located in North Carolina.
If you’re looking for support outside of therapy, such as consulting, care navigation, education, or advocacy--visit my non-clinical services website at www.UnconventionalClinician.com or via the menu navigation bar.
