Nicole Dewispelaere, LCSW

Nicole Dewispelaere is a New York licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She supports clients who are juggling life changes, coping with mood shifts, or wanting clearer communication and greater self-love. Nicole writes simply and listens closely to what matters to each person.

Nicole uses practical tools to help people feel steadier day to day. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to slow down, notice feelings, and find what feels most helpful in the moment.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused. Nicole helps clients set small, realistic steps and checks progress together. Conversations include skills practice, problem solving, and real-life strategies for handling control issues, forgiveness, or the stresses of divorce and separation.

Her background spans community and clinical settings across ten years in the field. That hands-on experience informs a practical style that balances support with actionable change. Nicole explains tools plainly and adapts methods to fit each person’s life.

People often come for help with communication problems, finding life purpose, or women’s issues. Nicole guides them toward clearer choices and more confidence. Her work emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Nicole offers sessions in English and works with clients through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client so they feel understood and can make their own choices. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through feelings and consider next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. In sessions clients learn practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build different habits that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their needs. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets people practice skills and read body language, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing written work. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins, or longer weekly sessions depending on what a client prefers.
