Hello, and welcome! I am so glad you are here. My name is Nicola Noel, and I am a licensed therapist with 6 years of experience working with individuals navigating life's challenges. My work focuses on helping people better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, and create more fulfilling lives. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, career stress, or navigating the complexities of identity, I believe that Therapy is a safe, supportive space for self-discovery and growth.
Experience and Education
I hold a Bachelor's in Child and Adolescent Psychology with a minor in organization leadership and a Master's in Clinical Mental Counselling. I am currently working towards a PhD in international psychology. I am licensed in Texas as a licensed professional Counselor. Over the years, I have worked in various settings, including private practice, community mental health, and organizations focused on special education, academic structure, trauma, relationship counselling, and. career coaching. I have worked with individuals across different age groups and backgrounds, from young adults to those in mid-life transitions, each with unique goals and challenges.
My Treatment Approach
I take an integrative, client-centred approach to Therapy, which means I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, goals, and challenges. I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy – to help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the present moment, which can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
Solution-Focused Therapy – to help you focus on your strengths, explore practical solutions, and move forward with greater clarity.
Person-Centred Therapy – to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and valued, fostering more profound self-acceptance.
I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and am committed to building a safe, trusting space where you can express yourself freely. I strive to create a supportive, empowering, and collaborative environment where we work together toward our personal goals.
How I Can Help
Life does not always go as planned, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming when faced with stress, uncertainty, or dissatisfaction in various areas of our lives. Whether you are struggling with loneliness, career burnout, relationship difficulties, or self-doubt, I can help you better understand your thoughts and behaviours, break free from limiting patterns, and develop new ways of coping. My approach is practical but compassionate—I believe that lasting change comes from a combination of self-awareness, self-compassion, and actionable strategies.
I also understand that each person's journey is unique, and no one-size-fits-all solution exists. I am here to meet you where you are and support you in exploring new possibilities, whether working through challenging emotions, setting meaningful goals, or learning to manage stress and anxiety more effectively.
I would love to work with you if you are ready to take the next step toward creating the life and relationships you want. I am here to support you every step of the way. Let us start this journey together!

I’ve had such a positive experience with Nicola. She is a great listener and always makes me feel heard and understood. She gives thoughtful advice and provides different perspectives that help me work through things in a healthier way. I also really appreciate that she follows up on things we’ve discussed in previous sessions, which shows that she genuinely listens and cares. She is always encouraging me to prioritize myself and practice self-care. I’m truly grateful for the support, encouragement, and safe space she provides.

Nicola is truly a great therapist. I’ve had three sessions with her and they’ve helped me navigate my way through past traumas and what I’ve recently experienced. I look forward to continuing to work with her further.

I mentioned something I had seen in an ad for a mental health app that I wanted to work on & by my next session (less than a week later) she had already done research & found resources for both of us. 10/10. She is always gentle but honest & an excellent listener. Never minds staying a bit over time to finish our thoughts. I have recommended BetterHelp to many of my friends.

Nicola, has been awesome. I will continue to lean on her guidance, as needed.

I’ve always been skeptical when it came to therapy but I found out I just never found my right fit, and Nicola Noel is that right fit! She has understood me since day one, guided me on my new journey, has the best advice! I love how easily she puts everything into perspective for you and gives you examples of how to implement those new ways into your life! So happy to have landed such an amazing person through and through to guide me on the right path for this journey!

Nicola Noel was the first therapy I had a session with when joining BetterHelp and it's like I struck gold. She's been extremely attentive, caring, and affirming in my journey to utilize therapy to heal and move on from my problems. I would recommend her to anyone considering therapy for any reason.

Nicola is thoughtful and thorough. She does so much more than just listen; she absorbs, mirrors, and advises.

With the few sessions I’ve been privileged enough to have with Nicola have been truly a joy. She not only gives me the space to feel and talk about my feelings, but she gives me directions and guidance in every way that I need. I’m so thankful for Nicola and I am excited to continue our therapy journey together. Thank you for showing me that’s it’s ok to get help. <3

This is my first experience with therapy and Nicola is awesome! She creates a safe and welcoming environment; which makes it so much easier to open up freely and express myself. Our sessions have a great flow, even when I feel I’m struggling with what to say or how to express things. Very Helpful!

Nicola is amazing at what she does. She has pulled things out of me that I didn’t even know were there. A single session with her can make such a difference. Therapy with anyone else has never proven so beneficial.

So far I have had 2 sessions with Nicola, and she has truly been a breath of fresh air! Even when I’m rambling, I can see her silently cheering me on. I already feel like she’s helped me so much!

We've only had one appointment but she was so kind and welcoming! She understood when I told her I had concerns about talk therapy and how effective it is for me. She knew was IFS therapy was and was more than willing to investigate it further with me. She was open minded, a wonderful listener, enthusiastic about helping me, and understanding in my challenges. I will be scheduling with her again and i'm over the moon about continuing our understanding together! Love Love Love her!

Nicola is a fantastic and professional therapist.
She's kind, patient and clearly passionate about her work. Her experience shines through when asking the right questions when needed. It has been a pleasure to have Nicola guide me through my healing journey.

Working with Nicola has been one of the most healing and transformative experiences of my life. From the very first session, she made me feel safe, seen, and heard. She listens with compassion, never with judgment, and always meets me exactly where I am emotionally and mentally.
What sets Nicola apart is not only her professionalism and depth of knowledge, but her incredible insight. She has a way of gently helping me understand myself better and guiding me toward healthier thought patterns and behaviors—without ever making me feel pushed or pressured. Her approach is thoughtful, grounded, and always respectful.
At the same time, Nicola is so refreshingly down to earth. She brings a warmth and humanity into our sessions that makes even the most difficult topics feel manageable. It's clear she genuinely cares, and that makes all the difference.
I'm deeply grateful for the support and growth I've experienced with her. If you're looking for a therapist who is not only highly skilled but also truly compassionate, Nicola is someone I can't recommend enough.

I’ve learned a great amount about myself with working with Nicola, I may have not gotten to the end goal, but I am continuing to put in the work.
This is all possible with the tools and education I am receiving, because Nicola doesn’t want me to fail.

Nicola is a gem! She listens with patience and curiosity and offers amazing guidance/encouragement. The way she asks questions and draws conclusions has lead me toward many major epiphanies about myself. On top of that, she's extremely professional without being removed or unapproachable, and I feel that anything I share will be met without any judgment.
I'm very grateful to have found Nicola (after switching therapists a couple of times), and I'd absolutely recommend her services.
