About Nicole
Nicole Agostini Robinson uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She brings a clear, steady presence to sessions and draws on two decades of experience in New York settings. Nicole is an LCSW-R - a licensed clinical social worker - and she focuses on helping people feel more capable and in control.
Nicole has worked in large health care systems and smaller community organizations.
How Nicole works
That background means she has seen common problems up close: depression, workplace strain, grief after loss, and the disruption that illness or caregiving can cause. She helps people untangle overlapping concerns like co-morbidity and the practical burdens of caregiving. In sessions she uses straightforward methods that aim for small, useful changes.
She helps people set clear goals, test new behaviors, and build skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Nicole often supports people facing serious medical issues such as cancer, or the challenges that come with aging and geriatric concerns.
She also addresses workplace issues, life purpose questions, and women’s issues that affect daily functioning and well-being. Her approach emphasizes realistic steps and doable strategies. Nicole listens closely, helps prioritize what matters, and works with people to create plans they can use between sessions.
The focus is on steady progress toward a more balanced, manageable life.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the links between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then try practical changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore what matters most and strengthen the motivation to make changes, which can be helpful for career decisions, health challenges, or shifting habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means strategies are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and deeper interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, shorter exchanges, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stick with the plan that works best for them.
