More about Nicolle

- LCPC
I am a licensed and nationally board-certified clinical professional counselor. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, and I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Criminal Justice at North Carolina Wesleyan University. Additionally, I earned my Master of Business Administration at the University of Maryland and have over 20 years of experience in project management and business operations.
I’m a native and resident of Gorgeous Prince George’s and a proud graduate of Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland. I’m also a member of the Maryland Counseling Association and the American Counseling Association.
My primary focus is on diversity, inclusion, and equity for underrepresented and marginalized communities in the mental health field. I incorporate various interventions to help clients successfully reorganize their approach to problems, identify and stabilize their emotions, and develop concrete skills for eliminating stress and resolving conflict.
As a multidisciplinary professional, I see clients in private practice, outpatient mental health clinics, and correctional facilities. I also teach communication and problem-solving skills to couples. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I create an open space for all my clients. I work with my clients to create a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.
