About Nicole
Nicole LoBello is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Nicole also notes focus areas that include attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress.
Nicole uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions center on practical steps and building awareness about patterns that keep someone stuck. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person's lead, while also using cognitive behavioral tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternatives.
Motivational interviewing is part of her approach for people who want to increase commitment to change or rebuild confidence. Nicole aims to help clients identify small, manageable goals and notice progress between sessions. Her style tends to be direct but respectful, focusing on what can be done next rather than on blame.
Before her clinical licensure she worked seven years in home and community settings with children and families. That background informs how she talks about family systems, communication breakdowns, and the legacy of earlier relationships. She brings that experience into sessions without assuming the same solution fits everyone.
Nicole works in English and is based in New York. If you want to try a first appointment you will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session through the site's booking flow. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings to the session. Online sessions can use that approach by letting the person set the agenda and guide each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves noticing thoughts and testing them with small experiments or practice; online work can support homework, thought records, and brief behavioral tasks between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons to change and build commitment one step at a time, which fits well with planning short, achievable goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will help identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as those needs change. The decision is collaborative and may blend elements from different approaches to suit what the client wants to address.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on the day's needs. It can also make it simpler to use written exercises and screen-sharing for CBT worksheets or to review notes after a meeting. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what works best for your schedule and goals.
