About Nicole
Nicole Turso is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Nicole focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions to change thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life.
Nicole emphasizes clear goals and small experiments. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Sessions include talking through recent events, testing new ways of responding, and tracking what helps and what does not.
She also addresses attachment and family of origin issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, eating and food-related concerns, and feelings of emptiness. Additional areas of focus include fatherhood and fertility issues, first responder stress, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and impulsivity.
Nicole aims to help people build practical skills for everyday situations. She encourages short exercises and simple behavioral changes that fit daily routines. Her approach is direct and structured, with attention to measurable steps toward the client’s goals.
Nicole sees clients in New York and works in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so she can understand their priorities and plan next steps together.
How CBT, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing work online
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that maintain anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions focus on identifying specific thoughts, testing them with experiments, and practicing alternative responses to see what changes.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Mindfulness can help people manage stress and stay grounded during difficult moments. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify values and strengthen motivation for change; it involves short conversations about goals and small steps toward them.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Nicole will work with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals and what feels workable. She checks progress and adjusts plans as needed rather than sticking to a single technique.
