About Nichole
Dr. Nichole Nava is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She speaks English and practices from a background informed by long work in social services and education.
Before working in private practice, she spent years in child welfare and school settings. That experience included supervisory work in child protective services and roles in education. Those roles shaped how she looks at family patterns, attachment, and safety concerns.
In session, she uses practical, skills-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person in front of her. Sessions typically include clear steps people can try between meetings to manage anxiety and handle difficult conversations.
She often supports people coping with parenting stress, adoption and foster care concerns, codependency, caregiver strain, and relationship communication problems. She also works with people facing body image worries, commitment concerns, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence.
Her approach aims to make change manageable. She helps people name patterns, try small behavioral experiments, and track what shifts. People who prefer straightforward strategies and focused goal work may find this approach fits their situation.
How her approaches work for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone wants their experience noticed and to shape goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors with clear steps to reduce anxiety and improve coping. It is useful for panic, social anxiety, and low mood because it gives practical skills to practice between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on what works now rather than on long histories.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable for them. This involves checking progress and adjusting methods over time so sessions stay focused and useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone try exposure exercises or role plays from familiar settings while still working with a licensed professional.
