I am licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with 7 years of experience working as a psychocounselor and school social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief. I also helped persons with autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. I am extremely open and sensitive to issues around race, systemic racisms and cultural issues.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines humanistic, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nicole Maronde. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I lucked out in terms of therapy. It’s nice to not have to worry about not being heard . Any concern is just as important and valid as the last. The support she can give is unmatched.

Nicole is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had in my life. She is definitely an active listener, and practices a form of existential therapy where she is along for the ride with you. She always sweetly challenged me and comforted me in the exact right ways. We did a deep diveInto a past relationship of mine that really helped me heal from the trauma of it. I hope we can work together again in the future.
