About Nicole

Dr. Nicole Livingston is a clinical psychologist practicing in New Jersey. She brings 24 years of experience helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and parenting challenges. She also works with people coping with life changes and concerns around aging and chronic illness.

Dr. Livingston centers her work on a client-centered way of interacting. That means she listens closely and respects each person’s goals. She combines that stance with cognitive-behavioral tools and mindfulness practices to help people change unhelpful thoughts and develop steady everyday routines.

Her approach adapts to what each person prefers and needs. Sometimes sessions focus on short-term problem solving and setting small goals. Other times the work turns toward building emotional awareness, handling impulsivity, or improving communication skills.

She has worked for many years with individuals affected by developmental differences, caregiver stress, chronic pain and disability, and end-of-life concerns. That background informs practical strategies for daily life, like sleep routines, activity planning, and managing overwhelm.

Dr. Livingston accepts international clients who can work in English. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to the therapist’s scheduling options.

How Dr. Livingston’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s goals. The therapist uses a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and helps people identify what they want to change or strengthen. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific tools to shift unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or sleep disruption. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment and can support stress management and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Livingston will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and daily life and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
