Nicole Agostini Robinson

Nicole Agostini Robinson is a New York LCSW-R with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, career uncertainty, family strain, grief, and life changes. She practices in New York and works with adults who are navigating role shifts, health challenges, and workplace pressures.

Her background includes roles in large health care systems and smaller community organizations. That mix gave her experience with people facing chronic and terminal illness, caregiving strain, and compounding medical and mental health issues. She has also worked with people affected by disasters and those reconsidering life direction after loss.

In sessions she uses practical, problem-focused approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thought that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. Solution-Focused Therapy supports setting short-term, achievable steps.

Nicole emphasizes collaborative work. She listens, reflects, and helps people set realistic goals for stress management, mood, relationships, and career decisions. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with an eye on what can be put into practice between meetings.

People who are juggling caregiving, health issues, or major life transitions may find her experience relevant. She currently communicates in English and does not accept international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress tied to daily routines. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds motivation when someone feels stuck.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Nicole will talk with each person about their goals, past efforts, and preferences. Together they choose methods and small steps to try, then review progress in follow-up meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time around appointments. For people juggling caregiving, medical appointments, or unpredictable schedules, that flexibility can help keep therapy consistent while balancing other responsibilities.
