Nicole Bakewell, LMHC

Nicole Bakewell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on relationship and personal challenges. She welcomes conversations about anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addictions, parenting, intimacy, and relationship concerns. Nicole aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical for people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

She practices in a warm, caring, and non-judgmental manner. Sessions center on helping people identify small, realistic steps they can try between meetings. Nicole often draws on what clients already do well and builds new skills from that starting point.

Nicole has provided clinical services across community mental health settings and through telehealth for many years. Her work combines several approaches so she can match methods to each person's needs. She emphasizes behavioral and trauma-centered perspectives while staying flexible about tools and techniques.

In the room she listens for how attachment patterns, thinking habits, and emotional responses shape relationships and daily life. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside emotion-focused and attachment-based work when that fits the client's goals.

Nicole brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. She notes availability primarily on weekdays and occasional weekends, and she is open to discussing schedule needs. Prospective clients who want to begin can follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Nicole’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps uncover how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses; it can be useful for people struggling with trust, closeness, or repeated relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and help with coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve communication and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicole works collaboratively with clients to weigh goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She will suggest strategies, check how they land, and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and help therapy fit into a busy day. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins, easier access from different locations, and smoother coordination around work or family responsibilities. If needed, Nicole can discuss which ways of meeting will best fit a client’s routine and goals.
