About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on practical support for everyday challenges. She listens with care and helps people break down problems into steps they can try between sessions. Nicole keeps language simple and actionable so worried parents can follow along easily.
She draws on client-centered work to create a calm, respectful space where people set the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to shift mood and behavior.
Background and approach
Attachment-based thinking helps with relationship patterns and closeness issues. Nicole has eight years of clinical experience and has provided services in community mental health and via telehealth. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, parenting strain, depression, grief, relationship conflict, and ADHD.
She aims to match tools to the situation rather than applying one fixed method. In sessions she focuses on clear skills and steady progress. People can expect practical strategies for sleep, emotion regulation, managing anger, and coping with life changes.
She also addresses issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family dynamics. Nicole schedules primarily Monday through Friday from early morning to late evening Eastern Daylight Time, with occasional weekend times. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Nicole uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person's goals and pace, creating space to be heard without judgment and focusing on what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes to improve mood and daily functioning. Attachment-based ideas are brought in when relationship patterns and closeness are central concerns, helping people notice how past bonds affect current interactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try one or more methods to see what fits. You and the therapist will check in regularly and adjust the plan based on what is helping and what feels doable.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging works for ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to continue care when travel or distance would otherwise be a barrier.
