Practical therapy approaches, made accessible online
Nicole Bakewell, LMHC, draws from several evidence-informed approaches to support clients with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building realistic, workable coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be especially helpful when feelings become intense or hard to manage. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences can influence connection and trust today, offering a thoughtful framework for improving relationships and strengthening emotional security.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the pace and methods to better fit the client’s needs over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support with flexible options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can help clients choose what feels most comfortable on a given day, fit sessions around busy schedules, and stay connected to therapy even when life is changing.
