This was my first time with a therapist and Nichelle was someone I never thought I would meet. She made my little, meaningless issues a top priority of hers and she made me feel like they were important. She was very easy to talk to, like talking to a friend, and never judged me for anything I said. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a stranger to talk to and for an outside perspective on their life. She has great wisdom, knows what's important in life, and makes you feel like you matter.

Hi. My name is Nichelle and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have been practicing therapy for over 8 years. I have worked in various settings as a therapist including schools, hospitals and private practice. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was an educator for twelve years.
I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy aims at challenging and changing some of your unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and behaviors into ones that are more positive and productive. CBT also seeks to help you maintain emotional regulation and help you develop coping tools to address your problems. I can help you manage your problems in a healthy way and find appropriate coping tools. We all have struggled with life's challenges at some point. It's okay to ask for help. Let's work together to find a solution to help you manage your problems.

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.

Miss.Ward has been amazing. She is fast to respond and very supportive. She provides me multiple ways to cope and I always look forward to meeting with her
My counselor, Nichelle Ward is a really good listener, I love her attitude on things and the way that she gives me advice, great counselor overall!
Nichelle is an amazing person, I appreciate working with you. 15/10, you've been a tremendous help. Thank you!
Ms. Ward is very personable and professional. I have already made so much progress in the first two weeks! I cannot wait to see how well things will be in the next few weeks!
Nichelle is absolutely awesome. She's super down to earth and easy to talk to and relate to. She's empathetic and gives great feedback. She even sends helpful sheets to fill out other tasks to complete to kind of help you understand your emotions and tasks to motivate you. 10/10
I haven't had many sessions, I'm new to this service, but the times I've talked to Nichelle it's been very helpful. She's very attentive and responds to my messages very quickly. I'm also new to counseling so I was a bit nervous during my first love session but Nichelle made me feel comfortable, like I was talking to a friend.
I love talking to Nichelle Ward. She listens well and helps me work through things. She’s very comfortable to talk to, I feel like I can tell her anything without her judging me. Talking to her has been the best decision I’ve ever made.
Nichelle is kind, approachable, empathetic, and realistic. I recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
I've only just recently started therapy and I was very nervous at first, but Nichelle has been great at making me feel at ease. She listens to me, offers me reassurance, and makes it easy for me to work toward realistic goals so that I can feel accomplished. She makes me feel safe and not like I'm being judged.
Some people ask you to fight or face your fears directly and strongly, some ask you to fight them kindly and in a smarter way, Nichelle made me see things in a different way, think of things differently as well, she was there when I needed her, and was a great support for the short period I was talking to her.
I've been to several different counselors and Nichelle is by far the best I've ever had! She's so understanding, patient and a great communicator. She has helped me a lot over the last month and I'm very thankful that BetterHelp paired us together!
She is a great listener and is great at helping.
Nichelle has been a wonderful counselor. She messages me just to check on me out of the blue. I love having someone with a nonjudgmental attitude who helps me take steps forward in my life.
Nichelle is an amazing counselor. She listens to me and gives such educated feedback. In the small amount of time I’ve been receiving counseling my mood has thoroughly improved.
