About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Nicole aims to offer steady support while people work toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods and keeps sessions direct and compassionate. Conversations tend to focus on skills people can use between appointments, ways to reduce intense emotions, and steps to rebuild trust in relationships.
Background and approach
Nicole emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental approach so clients can speak openly about difficult experiences. Nicole has eight years of clinical experience and has worked in community mental health and telehealth settings. That background means she’s familiar with a range of life challenges, from addiction and trauma to caregiving stress and chronic health concerns.
She also brings experience helping people with family-related issues, intimacy concerns, and identity topics such as LGBT matters. In sessions she draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Those approaches guide how she helps clients name patterns, practice new skills, and shift painful emotional responses.
Nicole’s primary availability is weekdays, and she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She accepts international clients and works with each person to find a schedule and format that fit their life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns because it ties specific actions to shifts in mood.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness. That approach can help with intimacy issues, relationship conflict, and patterns that repeat across relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another tool she may use to help people name and change painful emotional cycles in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose techniques and try them out, adjusting as progress or new concerns appear.
Online formats make this work easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people touch base between sessions or use written reflection when speaking feels hard. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent with their routines.
