About Nicole
Dr. Nicole Livingston is a New Jersey psychologist with 24 years of experience.

She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, autism spectrum matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and related concerns.
Dr. Livingston bases much of her work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using practical steps to notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on client-centered principles to listen and understand what matters to each person. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies are used when they fit a client's goals.
Sessions focus on clear, actionable strategies. That can mean identifying stress triggers, trying different ways to respond to anger, or setting small routines to improve sleep. For parenting questions she helps parents work through challenges one issue at a time. For attention or executive function struggles she looks at habits and supports that can make daily tasks easier.
Her background includes long experience with developmental disabilities, grief and end-of-life topics, and issues that affect caregivers. She has worked with people affected by trauma and large-scale disasters earlier in her career. This broad experience informs how she adapts practical methods to different life situations.

How Dr. Livingston uses practical approaches in online work
Dr. Livingston commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then test new, more effective responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties, sleep problems, and managing ADHD-related habits.She also incorporates client-centered methods, which means listening closely to what the person wants and building sessions around their goals. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and help with stress and sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and decides together which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps choose practical exercises and between-session tasks that fit daily life.
The biography indicates use of a messaging feature on the platform for some clients and noted video and phone caseloads were full at the time of that statement. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving duties.
