Telehealth approaches and communication options
Nicole integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas into online work to address patterns of thought, behavior, and interpersonal connection. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and developing concrete skills to shift responses, while attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections. When appropriate, she can also use elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills, and client-centered methods to maintain a respectful, collaborative stance. These approaches are described and chosen with each client so the process aligns with personal goals and preferences. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to select the format that fits their needs. Nicole aims to work together with each person to decide which techniques and communication channels will best support their goals.What is Nicole Bakewell's clinical background?
