About Nichole
Dr. Nichole Nava is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues related to grief, intimacy, parenting, self-esteem, ADHD, and LGBT matters. She speaks English and works from Texas.
Before moving into ongoing counseling work, she spent many years in social services and education. That background included supervising for Child Protective Services with a focus on child abuse and neglect, and roles as an elementary teacher and school counselor. Those roles shaped how she thinks about family patterns and safety.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy. In sessions she listens for how shame and guilt show up in relationships and parenting. She helps people name the patterns that keep them stuck and tries to build practical steps to change those patterns.
People who come to her work on communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and issues such as codependency, body image, and forgiveness. She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, adoption and foster care questions, and separation or divorce stress.
Her clinical background includes work in schools, child protective services, and private practice settings. That range informs both short-term work and longer conversations about coping with life changes. To begin, readers are asked to confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the person’s concerns. The therapist reflects what she hears and focuses on what matters most to the client, which helps when shame or guilt feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. She may help identify thoughts that keep someone stuck and practice small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term goals to change stressful patterns and improve daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend whether CBT, client-centered work, a solution-focused plan, or a combination might fit best. That choice is made together and can be adjusted over time.
