About Nellie
Nellie Vial is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship strain, parenting concerns, addiction, trauma, and other life changes. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on making clients feel heard and understood.
Nellie prioritizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. She creates an inviting space so people can share difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around what each person needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That approach helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-life changes that matter to the client. Her work also addresses multicultural concerns and the ways identity and culture affect stress and relationships. She listens for how background and life context influence goals and coping options.
This informs the strategies she suggests. Clients can expect treatment plans that are tailored to their goals. Nellie aims to support and empower people as they take steps toward change.
The first meetings focus on understanding needs and building a comfortable working relationship.

How CBT and Online Sessions Work Together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of reacting. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and some relationship concerns.In session, the therapist and client set clear goals and try practical exercises. These may include tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing new responses between meetings. The therapist tailors exercises to each person's daily life and cultural background to make them relevant and workable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and obstacles become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for full sessions with face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, tracking progress, or when written reflection helps. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
