About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a Florida LMHC with eight years of counseling experience. She focuses on concerns that often touch family life and parenting, such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. She also lists specialties related to family dynamics, grief, ADHD, and caregiving stress.
Nicole grew up in the Pocono region after being born in New York City. She has clinical experience across settings including community mental health and telehealth. Earlier work involved supporting children, couples, and families, and that background informs how she talks about family roles and parenting in sessions.
Her approach draws on attachment-based perspectives, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and elements of emotionally-focused therapy. That means sessions can include looking at relationship patterns, practical behavior changes, emotion skills, and the impact of past wounds on current relationships.
In practice she aims to make sessions straightforward and useful. Conversations cover what is happening at home, what the person wants to change, and small, practical steps to try between sessions. She describes her orientation as behavior- and trauma-centered, and she encourages people to be active participants in setting goals.
Because cost varies by location, her sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections. It helps people notice repeating dynamics in partnerships and family roles and supports making different choices in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, mood symptoms, or problematic coping habits.Finding the right approach is usually a gradual, collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and priorities and then suggest which methods to try first. You and the therapist can adjust strategies based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
The biography notes experience with telehealth but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities. It can let people join from a quieter place, choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use online meetings to practice emotion skills, try behavior experiments between sessions, and track small changes over weeks without changing everyday routines.
