Nicholas Kolos, LMHC & LMFT

Hello, my name is Nicholas Kolos. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida. I love my profession and look forward to helping my clients achieve their individual goals. I get excited when I see clients with unrealized potential, and then help them become the best version of themselves. I love helping people who are struggling in their personal or work relationships learn how to better communicate their needs and improve the quality of those relationships. I tailor my treatment plans to best support each individual case and help you achieve success. First session The first session is about you and me getting to know each other. I will give you a sense of how I operate, and we will spend time building rapport. Empirical evidence shows that the strength of the therapeutic relationship is the most indicative element of success in treatment, so I want to get to know you as a human being. I will ask certain questions to help us build a treatment plan, as well, so we can get into the techniques I will teach you for long-term success. Strengths My biggest strengths include helping clients develop a more positive mindset, learning how to communicate more efficiently in their relationships, teaching practical coping mechanisms to deal with distress, and offering life coaching skills in specific situations. I work with both men and women ages 13-100. I have had success with people from both the heterosexual and LGBTQ+ community. Ideal clients I love working with clients who are struggling with their relationships, whether it is marriages, family, or friends. Clients who feel stuck, unfulfilled, or unhappy are welcome to work with me, because helping people achieve a happy and fulfilling life makes me proud of what I do. I also help clients struggling with anxiety or organization challenges through very practical solutions. Treatment methods cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) I help clients learn to change their thought processes and behavioral patterns to achieve a much higher quality of life. Helping people realize their potential is what I am passionate about. Gottman Method I incorporate the Gottman Method to help clients improve the overall quality of their relationships. Teaching clients how to overcome roadblocks with communication with their partners is something I excel at. Overcoming infidelity and reigniting the spark in people’s relationships is also common in my practice.
