About Nicole

Nicole Bakewell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on supporting men's wellbeing among other concerns. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship strain, grief, and parenting challenges. Nicole aims to provide steady support so clients can make practical changes and feel more able in daily life.

Nicole brings eight years of clinical experience across community mental health and telehealth settings. She has worked with individuals who face trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual health concerns, eating and sleep difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, and the stresses of caregiving.

Her approach blends client-centered care with several evidence-informed methods. Nicole uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused and Dialectical strategies when emotions feel overwhelming. She adapts techniques to each person's situation rather than applying a single method.

Sessions emphasize a warm, nonjudgmental stance and clear goals. Nicole describes her role as practical support that helps clients set steps toward the life they want. She offers most availability Monday through Friday from early morning into the evening, with some weekend times negotiable.

To begin, Nicole asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability. She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approach and online therapy that fit your life

Attachment-Based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can relieve anxiety, low mood, and some stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then blend methods that feel most useful. She adjusts pacing and tools as clients try things and report what helps or doesn't.

The biography notes experience in telehealth but does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Working remotely also makes it possible for people in other regions to connect with a licensed professional in Florida. If you have questions about timing or session length, those can be discussed during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
