About Nicole

Nicole Turso is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and transitions in life.

Background and approach

She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and builds on existing strengths to address obstacles and foster practical change. Nicole emphasizes collaboration and supports clients in identifying actionable steps toward clearer, more manageable goals.

Her background includes five years of clinical practice using evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and solution-oriented tools. Nicole integrates motivational interviewing techniques to help clients clarify values and increase readiness for change.

She frames the therapy process as a joint effort, offering practical strategies while attending to emotional experience and communication patterns. Sessions accommodate a range of concerns including attachment and family of origin issues, body image and eating-related difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, fertility and fatherhood matters, and problem areas like guilt, shame, and impulsivity.

How Nicole’s Approaches Translate Online

Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making difficulties like anxiety, low mood, and stress more manageable through practical exercises and skill-building. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and sensations, which can support coping with chronic stress, pain, and emotional overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole partners with clients to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as work progresses so that therapy remains focused and relevant to what matters most to the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or health constraints while still accessing licensed professionals and a structured approach to change.
