Nikole is very knowledgeable. She has a very sweet demeanor, is easy to talk to, respectful, and kind. Without her, I would still be struggling each day. She has given me so much hope, which I didn't have before. I am healing with her guidance. She has also guided me in becoming self-aware and discovering my self-worth. I now see that I deserve the space I occupy. Thank you, Nikole, for the therapy exercises, expert insight, and all your encouragement.

I am licensed in Texas with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, motivation, and self esteem. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I prefer live chat sessions to help ensure that there are no distractions which will allow me to tune in to your needs.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
