More about Nicole

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a licensed clinician in New Jersey with over 20 years of professional work experience in the field. I have experience in helping individuals with stress and anxiety, eating disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and many other areas of concern. Throughout my career I have also helped a wide variety of individuals who struggle with relationship issues, conflict resolution, career issues, substance abuse, grief and loss, as well as trauma and abuse.

My style is warm and individualistic. I believe in treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. You are the expert of your story and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Humanistic therapy and Motivational Interviewing to ensure each person receives treatment tailored to them.

It takes courage and determination to reach out and take the first step towards a happier and more fulfilling life. I am excited to go on this journey with you and am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

All I can say is is that since I've started working with Nicole on better help I feel like I'm getting the support I've always needed. The biggest value point for myself besides the one-on-one video sessions are my ability to send her voice memos throughout the day. She responds in a fair, timely manner and to me that displays somebody who's genuinely interested in me getting better.
