Nicole Dewispelaere

Nicole Dewispelaere is a New York LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, mood disorders, self-love, and women's issues.

She uses clear, practical talk to help people name what feels off and decide what to try next. Conversations focus on day-to-day patterns, thinking habits, and small changes that can shift how someone feels. Sessions aim to make skills understandable and usable between meetings.

Nicole blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. That means she listens for each person’s priorities, helps identify unhelpful thinking, and introduces mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity. Solution-focused ideas help keep sessions goal-oriented and action based.

Her style is direct and grounded. She helps people sort through choices when life changes leave them unsure what comes next. She supports practical steps around relationships, parenting roles, career shifts, and questions of life purpose.

Nicole has worked in multiple settings over a decade and brings that experience into the therapy room. She asks straightforward questions, tracks progress, and adapts strategies when something isn’t helping. The approach is collaborative and focused on what is useful right now.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Nicole uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on each person's concerns and priorities. That approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can decide what matters most and set the work’s direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety or low mood, and it introduces practical skills for changing those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That may mean combining moments of focused skill practice with reflective talk or shifting emphasis if something isn’t helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT tools in the context of daily routines, so skills can be practiced between appointments.
