About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on helping people untangle stress, anxiety, and everyday thought patterns. She uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify unhelpful habits and find small changes that make daily life easier. Nicole aims to create a warm, caring, and nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what’s most pressing for them.
She draws on eight years of clinical experience across community mental health and telehealth settings. That background informs her approach to common concerns like depression, grief, addictions, sleep and eating problems, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. Nicole also supports people working through attachment issues, parenting strains, caregiver stress, and the impacts of trauma.
Nicole blends several approaches to match a person’s needs. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns, and attachment-informed ideas to address relationship and intimacy concerns. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior work for emotion regulation when needed.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Nicole’s availability is primarily Monday through Friday from 5 AM to 10 PM Eastern Daylight Time with occasional weekend times, and she is open to discussing alternative scheduling if needed.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on the therapist’s availability. Nicole’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online care
Nicole uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, offering listening and reflection so people can find their own solutions and goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort priorities or to think through personal values and choices.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, mood shifts, sleep and eating problems, and for changing everyday habits that get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and together they’ll try methods that fit the situation. That way therapy stays practical and focused on the changes the person wants to make.
