About me

“Connection is the energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard and valued — when they can give and receive without judgment.” — Brene Brown.

YOU ARE HERE because you desire a deeper connection with yourself and loved ones. You deserve to be seen, heard and valued! I think is it absolutely AMAZING that you are ready to take charge of your life. You should be so proud of yourself! No, seriously! Be proud!

(IMPORTANT: I am NO LONGER OFFERING VIDEO SESSIONS. I am ONLY OFFERING LIVE MESSAGE (TEXTING) and some LIVE PHONE SESSIONS. There’s some life changes for me and these are the accommodations)

Finding a therapist can be exhausting! I hope to help you make the best decision for you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years experience helping Florida and Mississippi clients find balance, inner strength, and clarity of mind.

I provide an integrative and creative mind-body counseling approach creating a space for clients to feel encouraged, gain insight and self discovery.

The feedback I receive from clients are that they find me very easy to talk to, non judgmental, and caring. Clients share that I offer a safe therapeutic environment where they experience growth and enhancement of coping skills. Clients have also shared that they enjoy my mindfulness and mind-body strategies to help deal with trauma, anxiety, and depression.

My passion is maternal mental health where I help families navigate the shadows of miscarriage, loss, other pregnancy/postpartum, motherhood challenges and other women issues. I am a mother of 2 plus 2 bonus children, a trained Birth and Postpartum Doula and a Perinatal Yoga Guide.

HOW I PRACTICE ON BETTERHELP: I interact with you via all modes of communication; however, I have discovered that clients who primarily participate in video sessions find the therapeutic experience more enriching.

My work hours are Monday-Thursday between 5:30a-430p CST. I do not typically work on the weekends; however, I am available for limited LiveChat sessions on Saturday and will schedule these directly with you. I do not work Sundays as I practice self care.

My "no show policy" indicates that 3 no shows and/or cancellations with less than 24-hours notice will result in discontinuation of services with me.

I am passionate about helping my clients feel connected and secure in exploring their inner world, I would be honored to support your mental wellness journey. I look forward to working with you!!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Niketa Pechan. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

She is a great listener and gives positive feedback as well as ways to challenge myself to grow in my weaknesses.

She listens and puts imput in and just makes you feel better after each session. And I feel very comfortable opening up to her.

Niketa has been an incredible support to me as a navigate a challenging season as a mother, business owner, wife and friend. She asks great questions that help guide me to conclusions which empowers me to make conscious decisions during the week. I also appreciate getting her perspective from a biblical worldview. She is the perfect balance of encouragement and challenge and always has good insight and resources to share. I also love her weekly notes of encouragement! She's been such a blessing to me!
