About Nellie

Nellie Vial is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, grief, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach

With 11 years of clinical experience, she offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and aims to create an inviting space where clients can express thoughts and feelings openly. Nellie emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's specific needs.

She listens for what clients most want from therapy - validation, empathy, and practical guidance - and works collaboratively to identify goals and next steps. Nellie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as part of her approach to address issues such as anxiety, stress, sleep problems, addictions, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, and career questions.

Her practice also attends to multicultural concerns and the varied contexts that shape each person’s experience.

Practical CBT and Online Support for Everyday Challenges



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is central to Nellie's approach and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then developing concrete skills to shift patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and relationship difficulties. This method often includes setting specific goals, practicing new coping strategies, and tracking progress between sessions so clients can see measurable changes.

In practice she combines CBT with person-centered listening, offering empathy and validation while helping clients shape individualized plans. Finding the right approach is collaborative: the therapist discusses goals, preferences, and life circumstances with each client and adjusts techniques to fit what works best for them.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or access is limited, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver therapy in ways that suit each client's routine and needs.
