About Nicole
Nicole LoBello is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, address family concerns, and cope with trauma and abuse. Nicole also works on self-esteem, motivation, and confidence issues, including social anxiety and phobia.
Nicole uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She listens, reflects, and uses clear strategies to help people reduce distress and practice new skills. Sessions focus on small, practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on client-centered work that emphasizes the client's perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change. These methods are used to address relationship tensions, attachment concerns, and life transitions like divorce and separation.
Nicole has several years working in home and community settings with children and families before moving into broader mental health practice. That background informs how she talks about communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and rebuilding self-love after difficult experiences.
People seeking help for post-traumatic stress, life purpose questions, or to improve communication often find sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step practice. To begin, Nicole asks about current struggles and priorities, then collaborates on a short plan to guide the first weeks of work together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and keeps conversation focused on what matters to the individual. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety symptoms and improve confidence. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what someone wants to change and builds small steps toward that change.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Nicole will discuss options and work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration continues as progress is tracked and adjustments are made together.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and shorter check-ins when needed. If you plan to start, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to maintain regular appointments and practice strategies between meetings.
