About Nicole

Dr. Nicole Livingston is a New Jersey psychologist (NJ Psychologist 35SI00406600) with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, ADHD, sleep problems, parenting strains, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also lists codependency among other focus areas.

She uses client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns that keep them stuck. She brings mindfulness and solution-focused tools to steady attention and build small, practical changes. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for people who want clearer priorities and stronger follow-through.

In sessions she helps people talk through how they put others first, struggle to say no, or feel overwhelmed by family demands. She works on concrete skills such as managing strong emotions, improving sleep routines, handling impulsivity, and setting boundaries. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, aging concerns, and fertility or end-of-life questions.

Her clinical experience includes work with developmental differences, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum concerns as well as caregivers and people living with chronic pain. She notes decades of practice across a wide range of mental health concerns, and she accepts international clients for English-language work.

Practical details are important to her approach. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then a first session is scheduled using the site flow.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people make their own decisions; online sessions using this approach typically emphasize open conversation and shared planning to identify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and breaks problems into manageable steps; online CBT often uses concrete exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can be done between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or anxiety symptoms, and these exercises can be guided in sessions and practiced at home.

Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, everyday routines, and what methods fit the person's preferences. Together they will try techniques and adjust approaches based on what helps most in real life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try tools between sessions in their usual environment. The focus is on practical strategies that can be used in daily life rather than on any single delivery method.
