About Nicole
LCSW Nicole Scanlon-Lodato practices in California and has 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Nicole also pays attention to attachment issues, divorce and separation, life purpose, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s concerns.
Nicole meets people where they are and starts by listening to their immediate concerns. She works with clients to set practical goals and to decide what steps feel manageable. Conversations are direct and grounded in everyday problems like sleep loss, avoidance of social situations, or feeling stuck after a breakup.
She adapts sessions to each person's pace and needs. That includes discussing how past experiences and attachment patterns show up now. Nicole helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and check what works. She also supports people as they sort out decisions tied to separation or shifting life roles.
Nicole uses straightforward methods that are evidence-based and aims for clear, measurable steps between sessions. She focuses on building skills for coping with anxiety, processing difficult memories, and strengthening self-esteem. Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what changes over time.
Conversations are in English and conducted from California. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the platform. Payment follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches are used in remote sessions
Nicole uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and daily problems. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and depression through practical exercises and repeated practice between sessions. This helps with day-to-day symptoms like worry, sleep disruption, and low mood. Another approach involves processing traumatic or painful memories in a paced way so memories have less impact on current behavior and relationships. That work emphasizes tolerable steps and checking in on how each step feels.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review a client's needs, goals, and preferences and discuss which methods seem most useful. Clients and the therapist make decisions about pacing and technique collaboratively, with adjustments as progress is tracked.
Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing check-ins during lunch breaks or between commitments. They can also allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints when that helps a person manage symptoms or practice new skills.
