She is caring, I feel like she actually listens and doesn’t downplay my feelings or views. I feel like I am able to be completely open and look forward to our sessions because I am so comfortable.

More about Nichole

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello there, my name is Dr. Nichole Guadiano Nava. I am a Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I have my Doctor of Philosophy in General Psychology. I have two certifications, one in Violence Prevention and Intervention and the other in Criminal Justice. I have over 20 years experience in social services and education working with both children and families.

I spent 8 years as a supervisor for Child Protective Services specializing in child abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse. I worked in education as an elementary teacher and school counselor for 11 years. I spent several years in private practice specializing in marital conflict, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, panic disorder, grief, and addiction.

In today's society we are experiencing so much change, chaos, crises, and illnesses. It is absolutely common to feel fear, anxiety, confusion, and anger. It is also very common for these changes to cause challenges in communication with others.

My passion is to help provide you with guidance, encouragement, and the tools for empowerment to find your own sense of normalcy and lead you down the road of growth and change.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
