Established in Jan. 2025, Counseling in the Holler, LLC is dedicated to expanding it's reach throughout the year, ensuring that all individuals, especially those from marginalized groups, have access to affordable counseling services in Kentucky. Welcome to Counseling in the Holler, LLC
Founded and operated by Nikki Layne, Counseling in the Holler, LLC offers professional counseling services exclusively through online video and audio formats. Established in 2025, our practice is dedicated to expanding access to affordable mental health care in Kentucky, with a special focus on serving marginalized communities. However, we will provide updates regarding the acceptance of other insurance providers in the future. Our commitment lies in delivering high-quality care to those in need and actively working to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health. With over nine years of experience in the counseling field, I have had the privilege of working in diverse settings, including community mental health facilities, residential and inpatient addiction treatment, and school-based environments. My career began in a community mental health facility, where I spent five years, followed by four years at an inpatient addiction recovery center. I specialize in guiding clients through various challenges, including stress and anxiety, LGBTQI+ issues, motivation, self-esteem, addiction, and depression. My approach is eclectic, incorporating a range of therapeutic techniques such as person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). I am committed to creating a safe and open environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. My personal experiences with self-identity, anxiety, and depression within a resource-limited rural community fuel my passion for this work. As a proud member of the LGBTQI community, I am especially devoted to supporting individuals from all backgrounds, empowering them to thrive and navigate their unique challenges. At Counseling in the Holler, LLC, our foundational values are deeply influenced by the spirit of the holler, fostering an inviting, warm, and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Here’s what we stand for:
H- Honesty
O- Open-Mindedness
L- Listening
L- Lifelong Growth

R- Resilience
These core values guide our mission at Counseling in the Holler, LLC, as we strive to provide accessible and meaningful counseling services to our community. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward wellness and personal growth.
