Hello, I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), currently licensed in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. I received my Masters from Boston College and have more than 10 years of Licensed Clinical Behavioral Health experience. My clinical background derives from psychiatric inpatient, corrections, outpatient services, family/school/ community-based programming, and emergency crisis services. Culturally sensitive, I am always eager to serve diversified backgrounds, ages and communities.
Throughout my experiences, I have worked with several diversified populations, which I take great pride in. These opportunities have allowed me to gain first hand experience in truly understanding the value in meeting others where they are. This has been one of the greatest lessons I've embraced as a Clinician.
Hello, my name is Nicole Vidal, I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I graduated with a master's degree from RIC in 2022. I have worked with various populations and diagnosis for the past 7 years; ranging from 5-85 years of age. My areas of expertise are Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder, Bipolar I & II and more. I believe that seeking therapy is a strength and an act of bravery to allow yourself to feel your feelings. I also believe that people begin to heal, the moment they feel heard, which is what I am here to offer through active listening, empathy and compassion.
I possess extensive clinical, supervisory, administrative, training and teaching experience. I enjoy working with diverse populations with a variety of clinical presentations. I have been trained in a variety of evidenced based treatment modalities.
Clients should know that I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental, and confidential space where they can feel heard and understood. I believe in building trust through empathy, active listening, and honest communication. My approach is client-centered, meaning I work collaboratively to help individuals identify goals, develop coping strategies, and navigate personal challenges at their own pace. I value compassion, professionalism, and respect for each person’s unique experiences and background.
I am a Mental Health Counselor, licensed in NY, MA, NJ, NH, RI, KS, UT, WI, IN, AR, and OR, with over 20 years experience in the counseling field. I have had experience assisting clients with a wide range of concerns, such as, parenting issues, family/personal relationships, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and anger management.
My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.
My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EFT, IFS, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.
Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

The past is a good place to visit but certainly not a place to stay
I am a dedicated therapist with over 17 years of experience helping individuals navigate the complexities of mental health and addiction. I specialize in supporting those struggling with anxiety, depression, and substance use.
I believe that many people underestimate how deeply their mental well-being impacts their overall quality of life. My goal is to build a relationship with you that honors your unique worldview while addressing the day-to-day stressors that hold you back. Whether you are dealing with inter-personal conflict, grief, or life transitions, I provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel seen and heard.
