Nicole Bakewell, LMHC

Nicole Bakewell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on helping people navigate stress, relationship strain, and major life changes. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Nicole aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

Nicole draws on eight years of clinical experience across community mental health settings and telehealth. She uses a mix of practical, skills-based tools and a trauma-aware perspective to address patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions often include clearer problem-solving steps, emotion regulation techniques, and work on interpersonal patterns that contribute to ongoing stress.

Her approach blends Attachment-Based ideas with client-centered listening, and she also uses cognitive behavioral methods and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. That combination is used to understand relationship patterns, change unhelpful thoughts, and build more helpful day-to-day routines.

Nicole describes her practice as warm and caring. She aims to support people as they set realistic goals and try new coping strategies. Her background includes work with diverse concerns such as ADHD, parenting strain, bereavement, body image, chronic illness, and issues connected to adoption and attachment.

Sessions are scheduled primarily during weekday early mornings through late evenings Eastern time, with occasional weekend options. International clients are accepted. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How Nicole’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that affect how people relate to others and themselves. Online work can focus on understanding those patterns, improving communication, and building more secure connections in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. In remote sessions CBT often includes homework, short skill practices, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then recommend or adapt methods collaboratively. Clients are invited to try strategies and give feedback so the approach can be adjusted as needed.

The therapist's biography describes telehealth experience but does not list specific current formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. It also makes ongoing skills practice and homework simpler to review between sessions. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent during life transitions and when juggling work or caregiving demands.
