Nikole is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), and a National Certified Counselor. Nikole completed (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing training in 2022. Nikole identifies her approach to therapy in an eclectic manner. Nikole believes that as each individual is unique, counseling techniques and approaches used are tailored to the client’s presenting problem, needs, and goals. The counseling approaches Nikole utilizes include but are not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other evidence-based approaches. Nikole has experience working with a variety of presenting problems including anger, grief & loss, self-harm, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, intellectual disabilities, trauma, acculturation, adjustment, and abuse. Nikole is a dedicated mental health professional committed to helping clients reach their goals to live a happier and fulfilling life. Nikole’s focus is primarily working with adolescents and adults and offers individual and family counseling to individuals ages 8 and older. Nikole does not offer couples counseling.

Additionally, Nikole is a LPC-Supervisor in the state of Texas and conducts supervision using a model that employs the roles of teacher, counselor, and consultant within a developmental framework. I will utilize the teaching role to assist you in learning a technique or a skill. The counselor role refers to the common therapeutic factors that are used to facilitate your personal growth in treatment-related issues where your specific thoughts or feelings are stimulated by the client and interfere with efficacious treatment. Supervision is a process whereby one person is designated to facilitate the professional development and therapeutic competence of another person or persons while safeguarding the clients of the supervisee. The consultant role is useful for case review and for discussion of areas of uncertainty. During our supervision session, I will help you to focus on the following areas in counseling: process, personalization, conceptualization, and administration. The process skills comprise counseling techniques. Personalization refers to those aspects of your experience that relate to you as a person, such as transference and countertransference. Conceptualization focuses on how you think about, plan for, and analyze your cases. My services as your clinical licensing supervisor will be rendered in a professional manner consistent with accepted ethical standards. Although I am unable to guarantee any specific results regarding your learning goals, we will work together to achieve the best possible results for you.
