About Nichole

Dr. Nichole Nava offers supportive, practical care for people managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma, grief, and related concerns.

Background and approach

With 15 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas, she integrates compassion with structured methods to help clients rebuild coping skills, address self-esteem and intimacy issues, and navigate major life changes. She also works with matters such as parenting, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and identity-related concerns including gender dysphoria and LGBT issues.

Her background includes extensive work in social services and education, which informs a grounded, empathetic style. Nichole pairs client-centered listening with goal-oriented techniques to create plans that fit each person’s situation.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused methods to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical strategies, and make measurable progress toward clearer communication, healthier relationships, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Clients can expect a practitioner who values collaboration, practical tools, and steady support while addressing complex issues like trauma, abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. Nichole aims to empower people to regain a sense of balance and move forward with greater confidence.

Online Approaches That Focus on Practical Change

Dr. Nichole Nava draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to provide empathic listening and create a collaborative environment where a client's own goals guide the work. Solution-Focused Therapy informs short-term, goal-directed interventions that emphasize strengths and immediate steps toward change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be guided by collaborative conversations about needs, goals, and personal preferences. She works with each person to tailor methods, combining listening and practical strategies so the plan fits the issues at hand and the pace the client prefers.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make regular work on goals more accessible. These varied formats allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and to select the communication style that best supports their progress and schedule.
