About Niki
Niki Mullis is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in North Carolina. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and build healthier self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports clients facing life transitions and questions about purpose and motivation. Niki uses clear, direct conversation to understand what matters most to each person.
She offers a calm, respectful presence and adapts sessions to each client’s needs. Expect practical talk about day-to-day patterns and small steps you can try between meetings.
Her work draws on several established approaches including the Gottman Method, attachment-focused ideas, cognitive behavior strategies, and client-centered listening. She combines these tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns, strengthen communication, and set realistic goals.
EMDR is also part of her toolkit when past events are affecting current functioning. Sessions typically focus on real problems now - how to handle worry, improve closeness, or make big life choices.
Niki aims to help people build skills they can use outside the therapy hour. She encourages questions and keeps plans practical and measurable.
She views the therapeutic relationship as a partnership. Niki supports each person’s pace and readiness for change, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.
Her style is warm, straightforward, and oriented toward everyday results.
How Niki’s approaches translate to online care
Online sessions often use the Gottman Method ideas to focus on communication, conflict patterns, and practical skills for improving closeness. Gottman-informed work in video or phone sessions often includes guided conversations and specific exercises to try between meetings.Attachment-Based Therapy in an online setting helps people notice how early relationship patterns show up now. The therapist helps name patterns and practice new ways of connecting through talk and short at-home experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Chat and messaging allow for shorter reflections, ongoing check-ins, or homework-style exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
