Dr. Nichole NavaLPC

Dr. Nichole Nava is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, and pregnancy and childbirth concerns. She writes and talks plainly, so sessions focus on practical steps and clear communication. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping a person feel steadier and more able to cope.

Dr. Nava draws on 15 years of counseling experience and broader work in social services and education. She previously supervised child protective services and worked as an elementary teacher and school counselor. That background shaped her focus on family dynamics, attachment issues, and safety concerns.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps set goals you can work toward between meetings. She uses client-centered methods that follow the person’s lead, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to spot unhelpful thinking. Solution-focused techniques help create short-term steps when quick changes are useful.

She often supports people dealing with relationship strain, adoption and foster care questions, body image and self-esteem, and the stresses of caregiving. Trauma, abuse, and domestic violence are within her focus areas, and she addresses compassion fatigue and burnout as well.

Sessions are practical. Expect help with communication skills, coping plans, and strategies for everyday life. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, gender dysphoria, and intimacy-related issues when they affect daily functioning.

Dr. Nava practices in Texas and conducts work in English. If you want to explore whether her way of working fits your needs, she asks people to start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session.

How her approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens without judgment and follows what matters most to the client, helping people set goals that feel relevant to their lives.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts that lead to distress and testing them with concrete experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that show up around major life changes like pregnancy.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, concrete steps that move a person toward their goals. It works well when someone wants quicker changes or tools to handle immediate problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, history, and what feels most useful in day-to-day life.

Please confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help when someone prefers to meet from a quieter place, needs lower bandwidth options, or wants to schedule around work and childcare commitments.
