Nicole Agostini Robinson, LCSW-R

Nicole Agostini Robinson is a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in New York. She offers calm, steady support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and changes at work or home. Nicole uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people feel more like themselves again.

She has worked in both large health systems and smaller community organizations. That background means she is familiar with the pressures of caregiving, chronic and serious illness, and grief. Many people come to her when routine or life roles shift and they need help sorting out next steps.

Nicole draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. She uses these methods to identify patterns, set achievable goals, and build small changes that add up. Sessions focus on what will make daily life feel more manageable.

Her practice pays attention to issues that often overlap with caregiving and aging, including cancer, co-morbid health concerns, and workplace stress. She also helps people clarify life purpose and cope with disasters or major losses. Conversations aim to be practical, respectful, and paced to each person’s readiness.

Nicole listens with compassion and helps clients set realistic steps toward their goals. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors by breaking problems into steps and testing new ways of responding.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck about change. That approach focuses on clarifying values, increasing motivation, and choosing small first steps that feel doable. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete goals and notice what is already working, then build on those strengths.

Nicole treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. If something does not fit, she adjusts the plan together with the client.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when needed, and fewer travel demands. The site’s booking process begins with a short matching questionnaire so you can schedule according to the therapist’s availability; confirm the current session options before booking.
