About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns common in young adulthood such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
Nicole grew up in the Pocono region after being born in New York City. She has provided clinical services in community mental health settings and through telehealth. Her background includes work with children, couples, and families across varied settings, giving her experience with many life stages and relationship dynamics.
In sessions she uses approaches that focus on behavior and trauma, and draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior ideas, and emotionally-focused methods. She aims to help people identify practical steps they can take to manage symptoms and improve daily routines.
Nicole describes her style as caring and non-judgmental while focusing on concrete goals. That can mean short-term skills for emotion regulation, or longer work on patterns that keep repeating in relationships. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, body-image concerns, and complex medical or chronic illness related challenges.
For someone in their late teens or twenties dealing with leaving home, first jobs, study stress, or relationship pressure, Nicole offers straightforward talk and practical tools. To begin, readers should use the site matching tool and schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It focuses on understanding attachment styles and improving how people relate in close relationships, which can help with trust and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center and emphasizes listening, validation, and collaboration. It supports people who need a straightforward space to talk through decisions, identity questions, or stressors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep issues, and setting practical routines.Navigating which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and suggest techniques to try. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions stay problem-focused, skills-based, or explore deeper relationship patterns.
The original biography notes telehealth experience but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around study or work, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, reduce travel time, and let someone keep consistent contact during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and emotion regulation skills to the online setting to support progress over weeks or months.
