About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for daily life. Nicole practices with a warm, nonjudgmental style that puts people at ease quickly.
She draws on approaches that emphasize understanding attachment, emotions, and practical behavior change. Sessions are collaborative - Nicole listens to what matters most and then suggests steps that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Common goals include reducing worry, improving sleep and eating habits, managing anger, and strengthening relationships. Nicole brings eight years of clinical work across community mental health and telehealth settings. That background gives her experience with diverse concerns such as depression, ADHD, grief, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues.
She also addresses challenges linked to adoption, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image. In sessions she mixes skills practice with deeper conversation about patterns and past experiences. That combination helps people learn new ways to react and to feel safer in relationships.
Nicole encourages steady progress through small, achievable changes. Her practice is based in Florida and she offers multiple online formats for therapy. Nicole is comfortable working with LGBT concerns, bipolar mood symptoms, and attachment-related struggles while tailoring work to each person's goals and pace.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in connection and trust. It helps when relationship fears or recurring conflicts make life harder. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience, offering a supportive space to talk through problems and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors with practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.Nicole works collaboratively to find the right fit. She will ask about your goals, preferences, and the issues that matter most. Together you will try approaches that match your needs and adjust them as progress is tracked over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a busy schedule or use less bandwidth, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while focusing on practical skills and emotional change.
