Getting to know Nicole Calvino

My name is Nicole Calvino, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt. I'm empathetic and view the world as a series of unique interactions and experiences. I am supportive and kind; my dry humor is famous. My approach My approach is client-centered and strengths-based. I pull from multiple theories and approaches to develop a unique set of interventions tailored to the person I'm working with. Some of the common theoretical models I utilize in therapy are trauma-informed/focused, such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Seeking Safety. I also incorporate elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. My focus I typically work with people experiencing challenges with self-esteem and self-efficacy, shame, and anxiety. I also work with adults and teens who have a history of trauma, particularly related to social forces such as discrimination and isolation. Additionally, I support those who feel they have an unhealthy or unhelpful relationship with certain behaviors or choices and want to create habits that stick. My communication style My communication style is warm, gentle, and direct. If you’re comfortable, I may bring a little humor where appropriate. I will help you notice the discrepancy between your goals and your behaviors and will support you through the process of removing obstacles. You should feel that I hold you in unconditional positive regard and that I am not judging you for the reasons we are talking today. My journey to mental healthcare There have been patterns I noticed in my own life that led to therapist-like behaviors long before I became one. In no particular order: 1) A woman crying in the bathroom? Ask if she’s okay. 2) Noticing when loud people get quiet, or quiet people get loud. 3) Friends reaching out after a while—what’s the ask?
