About Nicole
Dr. Nicole Livingston is a New Jersey psychologist with 24 years of experience working with adults and older clients. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, anger, sleep problems, parenting strains, and coping with change. She also sees people dealing with ADHD, depression, self-esteem, and caregiver or aging concerns.
Her work centers on client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people recognize patterns and try small, workable changes.
Dr. Livingston has experience across a broad set of concerns that can surface over a lifetime. These include chronic illness and pain, developmental and intellectual differences, communication and commitment issues, and challenges around fertility or end-of-life planning. She has also supported people who felt isolated or struggled with life purpose.
In sessions she helps people talk through what is happening, name the patterns that lead to anger or stress, and test different ways of responding. That can mean working on thoughts and behavior, practicing moment-to-moment attention, or setting short, achievable goals to change how days unfold.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She draws on motivational interviewing when people want help clarifying goals and staying on track. People can expect practical tools, short experiments to try between meetings, and focused conversations about what is working and what is not.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's concerns and perspective. It means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people identify goals. This approach suits people who want to be heard and then decide the next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anger, anxiety, and sleep issues. Mindfulness therapy trains brief attention practices to notice triggers and slow reactions, useful for managing sudden frustration.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That can mean combining CBT exercises, mindfulness practice, and motivational interviewing to keep progress moving.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make regular appointments easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and support trying practices in real time between meetings. Many people find remote sessions let them apply tools directly to daily routines and follow up on short experiments discussed in session.
