About Nicole

Nicole Bakewell brings eight years of clinical experience to her work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, addiction, trauma, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She practices as an LMHC in Florida and uses a warm, nonjudgmental stance to help clients identify practical changes and build coping skills. Nicole emphasizes behavioral and trauma-informed perspectives while tailoring interventions to each person's needs.

Her background includes work in community mental health and telehealth settings, and she has supported clients through challenges such as grief, parenting concerns, mood disorders, intimacy issues, ADHD, and caregiver stress. Nicole draws from evidence-based methods like CBT and DBT alongside attachment-focused and emotionally-focused approaches to address patterns in relationships and regulation difficulties.

She aims to collaborate with clients to set realistic goals and create strategies that fit daily life and long-term recovery. Nicole offers flexible weekday availability and occasional weekend sessions, and she accepts international clients.

Her approach places emphasis on practical skills, reflective exploration, and consistent support to help people move toward greater balance and resilience.

Approach-driven online therapy with flexible formats

Nicole often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and daily stressors. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to improve emotional well-being.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore relational patterns and strengthen emotional connection. These approaches look at how early and current relationships shape responses and help clients develop healthier ways of relating and regulating emotions, which can be useful for intimacy concerns, trauma-related patterns, and family issues.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may integrate techniques from several approaches to fit the situation. Clients are encouraged to provide feedback so the plan evolves with their progress.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options allow clients to access care from varied locations, fit sessions into busy days, and choose the format that best supports their comfort and needs.
