About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship struggles. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Nicole aims to help people find more balance and handle life changes with clearer strategies.
She began life in New York City and grew up in the Poconos. Over the past eight years she has worked in community mental health and offered telehealth services. That mix of settings informs a straightforward style that combines behavioral and trauma-focused ways of working.
Nicole draws from attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and emotionally focused approaches. In practice she helps clients notice patterns, try new coping skills, and improve relationships. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is tracked.
Her background includes experience with parenting stress, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD, codependency, and a range of mood and trauma-related issues. She emphasizes a warm, caring tone while focusing on concrete coping tools and emotional understanding.
Nicole’s availability is primarily Monday through Friday from early morning into late evening Eastern Daylight Time, with occasional weekends and the option to discuss other times. Prospective clients are invited to share what they're hoping to change so sessions can be tailored to those goals.
How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this lens help people notice attachment patterns and try new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions it often involves setting small experiments, tracking thoughts and behaviors, and practicing skills between meetings.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can shift as you learn what helps and what doesn't, keeping the work practical and tailored to your needs.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, cut out commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use exercises and worksheets at home and bring real-life situations into the conversation for immediate problem solving.
