About Nichole

Dr. Nichole Nava offers calm, practical support for parents and families facing stress and change. She speaks plainly about common worries like anxiety, grief, parenting hurdles, and relationship strains.

Nava holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and brings 15 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She previously worked in education and child welfare, including supervisory roles that involved child abuse and neglect. That background informs her clear, grounded style with family concerns. In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen deeply and build trust.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small goals and track progress. She works with a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, parenting, adoption and foster care issues, blended family stress, communication problems, depression, and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses identity-related matters including LGBT and gender dysphoria topics. Dr. Nava practices from Texas and conducts sessions in English.

Her background in schools, child protective services, and independent practice shapes a straightforward, supportive way of working. Parents looking for clear guidance and realistic steps often find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. Online sessions provide space for the therapist to hear your concerns, reflect them back, and help you clarify what matters most. This approach suits parents who need a steady, empathetic listener while they sort through family issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and tests small changes. In online sessions the therapist and client can set simple experiments and review results together, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term goals and practical steps. During remote visits the therapist helps name one or two achievable changes and tracks progress week to week, which is useful for busy families who need clear direction.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting schedules and to follow up between appointments. Remote formats can help families stay consistent with therapy while juggling daily demands.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
