I have a passion for providing the utmost quality of services to individuals and families struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. My clinical vision is to “ensure I provide a safe atmosphere for clients to experience their vulnerabilities while sharing their stories.”
I have enjoyed a rewarding career working with children, adolescents, and families for many years. I have provided services in the mental health field in multiple capacities including as a community support worker, community based therapist, clinical director and clinical supervisor.
Treatment modalities I utilize include cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, behavior modification and other evidence-based treatments to adult and adolescent clients with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment problems, such as anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship problems. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Social Science from the University of Maryland and graduate degree in Social Work from Morgan State University.

About online counseling
- Affordable.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Nicole has helped me almost completely rid me of my anxiety only after a couple sessions through the techniques she has taught me to prevent my panic attacks. She also has taught me strategies to calm myself down while I am having them as well. I appreciate how she is a great listener and has taught me to experience a higher quality of life and overall mental health! Thanks, again.
Nicole is an incredible listener. As well, she is always looking to provide tools and strategies for me to achieve better outcomes for myself. I appreciate her consistency and focus on my needs during difficult times. Even when I'm not my own advocate, she has been. Nicole has been empathetic when necessary, but also tough on me when I'm unable to see past my biases and damaging patterns. I could not recommend her more strenuously.
Nicole is awesome. Great listener. Love her approach.
I was matched with Nicole while I was in a bad place and Nicole listened to me & helped me understand and uncover all the issues I was currently facing and deal with them with time. For that I am thankful!
Mannnn ! What can i say About Ms. Samuels, she’s such a jewel, i truly Appreciate her for what she does, she makes me feel so comfortable about talking to her about anything I’ve been batting my mental health for a while, and Im glad i finally took the step to seek help, i would recommend her any day you will be glad you took the step.
Nicole White-Samuels is an effective therapist and counselor. She actively listens and picks up on cues before she responds or inquires. She has helped me with couples counseling, career counseling, anxiety, and other issues I included in our sessions. Nicole provided me with worksheets that have helped me assess, identify, and address my challenges. I have had no issues with accessing her and many times she started our sessions earlier if I was online. Now that we've completed our sessions, I feel that I have grown and have the tools I need to be successful and live an enriching life.
I continue to enjoy my therapy sessions with Nicole White-Samuels. She has helped me gain perspective in the challenges I am dealing with which allows me to reframe my thinking. I like the fact that she provides resources for me to go deeper into the topics we're addressing and exercises to help me address and overcome my obstacles.
Listens very well and follows up to encourage engagement and continuous assistance
Ms. Nicole is awesome, she's someone that will listen to you and ask you questions that you should be asking yourself. She gave me so much to consider in situations when I would normal get carried away with my own thoughts. I highly recommend her!!!
I am pleased with my experience. I feel listened to and valued. I am realizing I am enough and my future is brighter than my present.
Nicole is WONDERFUL. In only a couple sessions with her (so far) I am already starting to feel like I have a better grasp on my situation. Nicole is attentive, thoughtful in her wording and counseling, and has already helped me to find hope and grace for my situation.
Nicole is a phenomenal counselor that knows how to calm my anxiety and intensity. She recenters me to promote self care, personal growth, and asks the critical questions that guide me through my emotional and psychological work while holding me accountable to the commitments and decisions I’ve made.
Such an eye opening experience to work with Nicole. She has been wonderful and supportive, yet challenges me where I need it most.
Very professional with a calming voice.
