About Nichole
Dr. Nichole Nava is an LPC with 15 years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, LGBT issues, intimacy-related problems, parenting strains, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. Conversations center on current problems and practical steps clients can try between meetings. She combines Client-Centered ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build coping skills.
Her background includes long experience in social services and education. That history shapes how she pays attention to safety, boundaries, and how relationships affect daily life. She has worked in roles involving child protection, school counseling, and private practice settings.
In sessions she tends to keep things clear and goal-oriented. People are invited to identify what matters most to them and to set short-term targets. The work often includes practicing communication, addressing unhelpful thinking, and trying behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms or improve relationships.
She aims to help adults who feel stuck after big life changes - for example leaving home, starting new jobs, relationship shifts, or managing grief. Prospective clients should note sessions are conducted in English and with a Texas LPC clinician. To confirm session options and scheduling, follow the therapist's booking steps on the site.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says, helping them decide what matters and what goals to try next. It is useful for relationship concerns, identity questions, and building confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to test beliefs and change patterns that keep problems going. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, practical changes and immediate goals clients can try between sessions to see quick progress.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels doable. That collaborative discussion guides whether the focus will be on thinking patterns, concrete skill building, or short-term solutions, and the plan can shift as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, work shifts, or travel and let people continue care without long commutes. Phone or video options often allow for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations, or sessions that fit a lunch break, so check which formats are offered when scheduling.
