About Nicole
Nicole Bakewell brings eight years of clinical experience and a warm, client-focused stance to her work. She emphasizes practical support for people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a broad range of life transitions.
Background and approach
Nicole uses evidence-informed tools to help clients identify goals, build skills, and move toward greater balance in daily life. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed and client-centered techniques, adapted to each person's needs.
She has provided services across community mental health settings and through telehealth, and she frames her role as a supportive partner in change rather than an authority.
Nicole offers flexible availability on weekdays with occasional weekend options, and she invites prospective clients to explore how therapy can address challenges such as grief, parenting stress, intimacy difficulties, eating or sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Approaches That Guide Online Care
Nicole commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and difficulties with sleep or eating. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship, intimacy, and family concerns.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Nicole works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors interventions while remaining open to adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance helps ensure the therapeutic plan matches each person’s priorities and pace.
Online sessions make this work accessible through several formats: video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions when video is impractical, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins or flexible support. These options support scheduling flexibility and can help clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or geographic constraints.
