About Nichole
Dr. Nichole Nava is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of counseling experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD.
She speaks English and aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable for worried parents and adults alike. She uses clear, goal-focused methods in sessions. Dr.
Nava listens first to understand what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Then she and the client pick steps that feel doable, whether that means changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new communication, or setting small daily goals. Her background spans public child welfare and school settings as well as independent practice. That mix brings a strong sense of how family stress, parenting demands, and past trauma shape daily life.
She draws on those experiences to offer practical strategies rather than jargon. Sessions emphasize collaboration. Clients get help sorting priorities, building routines, and managing symptoms that interfere with work, school, or parenting.
When relationships are strained she focuses on clearer communication and manageable changes, not quick fixes. Dr. Nava uses Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution-Focused approaches.
These help with thinking patterns, problem solving, and building on strengths. Her goal is to equip people with skills they can use between sessions to feel more in control and move forward.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's priorities and experience. The therapist listens carefully and mirrors concerns back so clients feel heard, then helps them choose the next practical steps; this is useful for building trust and tackling relationship or self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms; it works well for stress, panic, and ADHD-related routines.
Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, immediate changes. The therapist and client set clear goals and test simple strategies in between sessions to see what helps most. This approach suits people who want quick, manageable tools for day-to-day problems.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dr. Nava collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone works when lower bandwidth is needed, and messaging or chat can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to schedule around school, work, or caregiving duties and to keep momentum between appointments.
