About Me 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!

Find a therapist near you in Forney, Texas

Finding a therapist near you in Forney, Texas starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Texas, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Texas

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Texas, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

Finding a therapist that accepts insurance in Texas

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session.

If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost.
