About Nellie
Nellie Vial is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship problems, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, and life changes. She also supports people facing burnout and compassion fatigue, struggles with addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, sleep difficulties, and self-esteem or career questions.
Nellie keeps conversations straightforward and practical. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behaviors that make problems stick. From there she works with each person to try different ways of responding and coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Her background includes a decade-plus of clinical work in New Jersey. She draws on that experience when helping people set realistic, step-by-step goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Nellie pays attention to cultural identity and how it affects relationships and life choices. She adapts conversation to reflect each person’s background and values. The emphasis is on practical strategies that fit real life demands, like parenting or work schedules.
To begin, she asks about current concerns, what has been tried so far, and what small changes feel doable. That information shapes the first plan of work and next steps.
How CBT and online sessions can work together
CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. That can include tracking automatic thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new coping skills. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and relationship patterns.Nellie pairs CBT with practical problem-solving and attention to cultural background. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. Figuring out the right mix of strategies is a collaborative process between therapist and client.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep progress consistent when life is hectic. Phone check-ins can be brief and require less bandwidth, while video sessions allow for more visual feedback during skills practice. The therapist will discuss which option best supports your needs and the kind of work you want to do.
