More about Nicole

I am a licensed psychologist in Houston, TX. I obtained my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology in 1996 from Ohio University and my Ph.D. degree from Ohio University in 2000. I came to Houston to complete an internship at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. My graduate program and internship are both accredited by the American Psychological Association. I have worked with clients of all ages, who have had a wide variety of concerns, including issues related to trauma, grief, loss, and coping with change. This could lead to symptoms such depression, anxiety, anger, or Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
My style is warm, nurturing, and supportive. I believe it is crucial for your relationship with your therapist to be open, honest, and comfortable. I occasionally hear individuals say, "I've tried therapy before and it didn't help" or "It wasn't for me." However, I usually encourage people to try to again, because sometimes it just might not have been the right fit between them and the therapist. One therapist might work really well with one person, but just might not click with the next person. If you don't feel that you can be completely genuine with your therapist, then it is not likely for the therapy to be beneficial.
I like to use an individualized approach with my clients. For example, some people like to have very clear goals and feel it is important to have homework assignments to help them process the information we have discussed during our time together. However, other people might feel overwhelmed and frustrated with trying to complete homework assignments, so that won't be an effective approach for them. Either way is OK! Once again, therapy is about what works for YOU and what YOU are comfortable with!
Just coming to this website is a great first step and participating in online therapy might be just what is right for you. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you better!

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.
