About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell is a Florida licensed mental health counselor - FL LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, grief, and mood issues such as depression and bipolar. Sessions also address intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Nicole spent her early years in New York City and the Poconos. She has provided services in community mental health settings and through telehealth. Much of her work has involved helping people sort out how early family roles and expectations affect current relationships and daily functioning.
Her practice draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds influence trust and closeness. Dialectical behavior concepts and emotionally focused strategies are part of the mix when regulation and relationship repair are priorities.
In a typical session she listens to the immediate problem, helps identify what keeps it going, and offers concrete steps to test different approaches between meetings. Conversations can include skill building for emotion regulation, communication practice, and clearer boundaries around family interactions.
Nicole accepts clients in English and works with people who have experience of adoption, abandonment, blended family issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and a range of personality and developmental concerns. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details so they match your needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect trust and closeness. Online sessions using these ideas focus on patterns in relationships and practical steps to change how someone connects with others. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is about noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying small experiments to change them; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and recurring family patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on feelings in relationships and helps people name emotions and request needed responses from partners or family members.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicole will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
The biography records experience with telehealth, though specific session formats were not listed. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make it simpler to keep therapy going while living or working in different places.
