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

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
Having worked with Nicole for over a year now has yielded cumulative benefits for her insight and observations that are immediately applicable for me to give myself the space and perspective I need and also brainstorm ideas on how to foster healthy relationships and growth both at home and through work as I navigate a career transition.
When it comes to individual sessions, my experience has been excellent and the therapist I am working with is such a helping hand when needed!
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.
Nicole is attentative, compassionate, a great listener and offers wonderful advice and insight which helps you think about things you may not see yourself. I've gained a lot from my time with Nicole and she has really helped me through some tough times
Nicole is great. She follows up with me and she has given me many tools to help with various issues in my life. I look forward to our sessions.
Nicole has a very genuine way about her. I feel completely at ease discussing my struggles. She has a high level of expertise, listens attentively, and offers a variety of resources and approaches for managing symptoms.
