About Nicole
Nicole Dewispelaere is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, mood disorders, self-love, and women's issues.
Nicole uses a practical style in sessions. She listens to what feels most pressing, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and suggests experiments to try different responses. Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can take between meetings to notice changes and gather data about what helps.
Her background includes work across a range of settings with adults dealing with mood and relationship concerns. Nicole blends approaches that aim to change thinking patterns, increase awareness in the moment, and concentrate on concrete goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods she uses to guide practical work.
In a meeting with Nicole, expect short-term problem solving alongside space to look at longer standing patterns. She helps people set achievable goals, practice new communication skills, and test small behavior changes. Progress is checked by reviewing what was tried and adjusting plans.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - tracking thoughts, trying new actions, and reviewing what changed. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many mood or self-esteem concerns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to make space for the client's perspective and priorities. That means the therapist follows the client's lead when deciding which problems to tackle and which goals to set.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean emphasizing behavioral experiments one week and mindfulness practices the next, or mixing methods as issues evolve.
Session-format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow a quick check-in during a workday break. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful when video is difficult, and shorter focused sessions can help with specific skills practice.
