About Nikki
Nikki Easter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity. Nikki also helps people facing feelings around abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiving strain, and challenges tied to kink and alternative sexual cultures.
She prefers direct, conversational sessions where people can talk about what they feel and how it shows up in daily life. Nikki uses a mix of methods to support problem solving and emotional work. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas to help people notice patterns and experiment with small changes.
In sessions she aims to listen and reflect so clients can name painful thoughts and actions. Practical skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and CBT are used when helpful, for example grounding, emotion regulation, and breaking down overwhelming problems into steps. The work often includes looking at relationships and early attachment experiences when those patterns still affect current life.
Nikki pays attention to how identity, relationship roles, and culture affect shame and guilt. Conversations may cover forgiveness, codependency, control issues, eating and body concerns, and recovery from domestic violence when relevant. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, steadier moods, or more reliable self-trust.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing committed actions that match personal values. It can help when guilt or shame leads to avoidance or stuck behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This is useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will compare options and decide collaboratively which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying practical exercises, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when life is hectic. Some session styles also make it simpler to use worksheets or practice skills between meetings. Discussing logistical preferences during the first appointment helps match the format to daily routines.
