Dr. Nichole Nava, LPC

Dr. Nichole Nava is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and other everyday challenges. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel practical and focused. Many people come to her when they need help with thinking patterns and daily habits that get in the way of functioning and feeling like themselves.

With 15 years of counseling experience, Dr. Nava uses straightforward methods that focus on the person in front of her. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to each person's priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals.

Her background includes long experience in social services and education, which shaped a direct approach to problem solving. That experience includes work in child welfare and school settings, and time in private practice addressing relationship conflict, depression, anxiety, and grief.

In sessions she aims to teach skills you can use right away. Expect practical tools, exercises to change everyday habits, and step-by-step planning for next moves. She encourages small, measurable changes that add up over time.

Dr. Nava practices in Texas and conducts work in English. If you want to explore thinking patterns, coping strategies, or ways to manage day-to-day behavior, she asks that you confirm current session options before scheduling.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people clarify what matters most in their lives. This approach is helpful when someone needs validation and a clear space to sort thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Sessions include practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and build new everyday habits. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to use between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on short-term goals and small steps that move a person toward what they want. It emphasizes strengths, past successes, and simple strategies to make progress quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and life demands and will help choose or combine methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the session formats available so you can pick what fits your routine.
