About Nichole
Dr. Nichole Nava welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship strain. She explains things plainly and helps people figure out practical next steps.
Her approach is steady and goal-focused, aimed at helping clients feel more in control of day-to-day life. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. Nichole uses straightforward methods to address common concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
How Nichole works
She also supports people facing identity and LGBT related concerns, gender dysphoria, and body image worries. In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That means she listens first, helps people spot patterns that keep problems going, and then co-creates small, doable steps to try between sessions.
The tone is practical and supportive rather than overly clinical. Nichole has a broad background that informs her work, including experience with family problems, adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment and attachment issues, and caregiver stress. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, and challenges that follow divorce or separation.
Her practice offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who want a direct, collaborative approach that focuses on clear goals may find her style a good fit.

Approach and options for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what she hears so clients can explore their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that increase distress and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable changes and uses short-term goal-setting to move the person toward what they want to see happen.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. They may combine elements from different approaches and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to try therapy in ways that match everyday routines.
