Nicole Dewispelaere is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She has more than 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also addresses relationship concerns and supports women facing life changes. Nicole aims for straightforward, compassionate work. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She listens for each person's priorities and helps set small, doable goals for change. Her style blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness skills. That means conversations start with what matters to the person and then move toward clearer thinking and calm, present-moment practices. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify strengths and next steps when people want quicker, goal-oriented support. Nicole has practiced in clinics and community settings over the past decade. She draws on that background to offer grounded, relatable guidance. Clients can expect direct feedback, reflective listening, and collaborative planning. The therapist helps people work through communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose concerns, mood disorders, and self-love challenges. She encourages steady progress and practical coping skills that fit everyday life.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person says so goals become clear. It helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and choose direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It is useful for changing unhelpful thinking and building new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on needs, goals, and personal preference. That may mean combining gentle listening with concrete CBT exercises and short mindfulness practices to manage stress and improve mood.
