About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and the fallout from trauma and loss. Nicole aims to provide steady support while people work toward practical goals and clearer day-to-day coping.
Nicole draws on eight years of clinical experience in community mental health and telehealth settings. She uses familiar, straightforward approaches so conversations stay focused and useful. Sessions tend to center on identifying patterns, building new skills, and making small changes that add up over time.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Nicole emphasizes both behavioral strategies and a trauma-aware perspective. That combination is intended to help people get relief from overwhelming feelings while also addressing the roots of recurring problems.
Nicole lists a wide range of concerns she works with, including adoption and foster care related issues, grief, parenting strain, addiction, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, caregiving stress, body image, and life transitions.
She offers weekday availability and occasional weekend times. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Nicole is open to working with international clients and conducts sessions in English.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and emotional reactions. In online sessions this approach helps people notice patterns in how they relate and practice new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathetic listening to build trust and clarify goals; it is useful when someone needs understanding and space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood, and coping with change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole partners with each person to identify which methods fit best for their goals and day-to-day life. She mixes approaches when helpful and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on how things are progressing.
The biography indicates experience with telehealth but does not list exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions let them practice skills in real life between appointments and carry gains into everyday routines.
