More about me
Licensing: M.S., ED Years in Practice: 20 State: Iowa
Hello, I am Connie Nichols. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.. I am mostly available Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. My educational background includes earning a bachelors degree with a major in psychology and a master's of science with a specialization in counselor education, and currently I am working on doctorate in psychology. I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of populations in the realms of domestic violence, rape/sexual assault, substance abuse; readjustment counselor during which I worked with adolescents adjusting back to their communities upon release from residential facilities, hospital clinical supervisor, hospital clinical assessment coordinator, along with many additional positions, including but not limited to Military Family and Life Counselor.
I feel very fortunate to have worked with and along side of clients struggling with acute psychiatric diagnoses such as bipolar, schizophrenia, and personality disorders; couples working to build a healthier relationship, individuals working to remain drug and alcohol free, individuals working to ease the symptoms associated with adjusting to changes, depression, anxiety, psychosis, ADHD, lack of motivation and trauma, along with many additional diagnoses.
Specific interventions range depending on individuals needs, as I am trained in cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution focused, exposure therapies. Also, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
In summary, I have worked with K-12th grade students as a private practitioner, with adult victims and offenders of domestic violence and rape/sexual assault, with elderly clients, and individuals of all ages who have PTSD. I believe therapy is an exchange of education and I feel honored to have obtained knowledge from each of the individuals I have had the opportunity to experience.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.
