More about Nicole
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, I bring over two decades of dedicated experience supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem.
I specialize in addressing communication difficulties, social anxiety, and deep emotional experiences like guilt and shame. My approach is compassionate and tailored, focusing on creating meaningful pathways toward personal growth and healing. I understand the unique emotional journeys of individuals, particularly those seeking support from a Black woman therapist.
My therapeutic work is grounded in creating a supportive, understanding environment where clients can explore their experiences authentically. I'm committed to walking alongside you as you develop stronger emotional resilience, improve interpersonal skills, and cultivate greater self-understanding.
Every person's path is unique, and I'm honored to provide professional, empathetic guidance as you move toward your personal wellness goals.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
