Nikki Schlundt

Nikki Schlundt is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in anxiety, OCD, self-esteem, identity, and life transitions. She works with teens and adults, meeting clients in moments of difficulty and helping them reconnect with their worth, strength, and capabilities.

Nikki's primary therapeutic approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — a values-based, mindfulness-informed model that helps clients stop fighting their inner experience and start building a life that feels meaningful. Rather than eliminating uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, ACT teaches clients to hold them differently, so they no longer dictate what's possible.

For OCD, Nikki uses Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the frontline evidence-based treatment, in which clients gradually face the thoughts and situations that trigger obsessions while learning to step back from the compulsions that follow. Paired with ACT, it lets clients build tolerance for uncertainty rather than negotiating with it.

Nikki also offers OCD Intensives — a focused, higher-frequency treatment format designed to accelerate progress for those who need more structured support. Her work is grounded in empowerment: she helps clients see what they're capable of, even when they've lost sight of it themselves.
