I am glad you are here. My name is Nicholas Bolton. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Columbus, OH.

E-counseling, sometimes referred to Telehealth, allows the client and counselor to meet through audio and video over the internet.
I utilize a secure, HIPAA compliant, web-based technology (similar to Skype, but easier to use) in conjunction with webcams to provide two-way, interactive video counseling sessions over the internet.
Clients can see and interact with me (and I with them) in real time, as if we were in the same room.
This provides a similar experience to in-person counseling in that the client and counselor can interact with and respond to each other without losing all of the nonverbal pieces of communication (both visual and auditory) that account for the bulk of relational interactions.

Although only recently embraced by Western psychology, mindfulness practices and techniques have been part of many Eastern philosophies, such as Buddhism, Taoism, Tai Chi, Hinduism, and most martial arts, for thousands of years.
The various definitions of it revolve around bringing non-judgmental consciousness to the present experience, so it can be considered the art of conscious living.
Let's note some of the important elements of these definitions.
First, we can observe that mindfulness is a process of awareness, not thinking.

I utilize a mindfulness-based behavioral approach called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
The name "acceptance and commitment therapy" reflects a key message: accept what is out of your personal control and commit to action that improves your life.
It's a very active form of therapy.
It's not just talking about your problems and feelings.
Our aim here is to work together as a team, to help you be the sort of person you want to be and build the sort of life you want to live.
Part of this approach involves learning skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively, so they have less impact and influence over you.

The healing relationship has always been a crucible for mutual transformation.
The bare willingness of human beings to encounter one another in the midst of our weaknesses and strengths is the quintessential transformative agent.
Mindfulness is not simply a technique.
It is an act of love.
Our willingness to see, to hold ourselves closely just as we are, while being this way with another, is a revealing and deeply healing expression of care.
An embodiment of compassion.
Compassion begins at home, with ourselves.
