About Nicole
She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a background that includes a Bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University and a Master of Social Work from Columbia University. Nicole uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Sessions often combine talk therapy with skill-building exercises to manage mood, cravings, and strong emotions.
Nicole favors a collaborative style - clients set goals and she helps outline steps to reach them. Techniques often include cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and dialectical skills to manage intense feelings. Mindfulness methods are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
She also draws on emotionally-focused and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and address intimacy concerns. Practical tools for quitting smoking or vaping, handling money-related stress, and coping with guilt or shame are available when relevant to a person’s goals.
Nicole works from New Jersey and conducts sessions in English. If you want to begin, follow the site's Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment based on availability.
