About Nicole

Nicole LoBello is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York who focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

With five years of professional experience and additional background working in home and community settings with children and families, she draws on practical skills to help clients navigate overwhelming emotions and interpersonal strain. Nicole emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversations and plans to each person’s situation.

Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-informed techniques, helping clients explore motivations, identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and build coping strategies. Nicole encourages people to acknowledge their strengths while taking gradual steps toward change, whether working through attachment or communication issues, processing post-traumatic stress, or addressing concerns such as divorce, forgiveness, and social anxiety.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at empowering clients to move forward and pursue a more fulfilling life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and aligning the pace of therapy to each person's needs; it helps people feel understood and supports exploration of personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on strengthening a person's intrinsic motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and building commitment to realistic steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Nicole will collaborate with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process involves reviewing what has and hasn't worked in the past, setting achievable objectives, and adjusting techniques as the work progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care while balancing day-to-day life. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing a therapist and client to choose the format that best supports active engagement, practice of skills between sessions, and steady progress toward therapy goals.
