About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and relationship strains. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Nicole aims to help people find better balance in daily life and tackle challenges that interfere with rest and routine.
Nicole grew up in the Pocono Mountains after being born in New York City. She has provided clinical services in community mental health settings and through telehealth. That variety has shaped how she adapts sessions to each person’s needs and schedule.
Her work draws on approaches like attachment-based therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy. She frames therapy around behavioral and trauma-informed ideas and tailors techniques to what the client finds most helpful.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical tools. Nicole talks through coping strategies, sleep-related habits, and relationship patterns, then practices skills together that can be used at home.
Her typical availability is Monday through Friday, 5 AM to 10 PM Eastern Daylight Time, with occasional weekend times. She can discuss different scheduling options if those hours do not fit. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to Nicole’s availability.
How Nicole’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Attachment-based work focuses on the ways past and current relationships shape how people feel and sleep. Sessions look at patterns in relationships and teach ways to feel more connected and grounded, which can help with rest and intimacy issues.Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and preferences. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and creates space for them to set goals and pace the work, useful for emotional concerns and life transitions.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that interfere with sleep and mood. It uses clear steps and exercises to change habits, calm racing thoughts at night, and build routines that support better rest.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicole works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. She may blend elements from different approaches and will check in about what’s working as therapy progresses.
The biography indicates experience with telehealth but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or have shorter check-ins when life is busy. Many people find it simpler to try strategies in their normal routines and then discuss adjustments in the next session.
