About Nikki
Nikki Easter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports clients dealing with grief, low self-esteem, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity.

She uses a flexible, person-centered way of working. Conversations and plans are shaped around each person's needs.
Background and approach
Nikki listens for what matters most and helps set small, practical goals to try between sessions. Her practice draws on several well-known therapy approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships influence current patterns and trust. Nikki has eight years of professional experience as an LPC in Texas.
That background includes supporting people through loss, relationship strain, issues around identity, and long-standing patterns like codependency or abandonment worries. She explains options clearly and works at a pace that feels manageable. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and practical tools.
Nikki encourages people to try simple strategies, reflect on what helps, and adjust plans over time. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every step of the process.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change them. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and trust, and it can help people understand and shift repeating relationship habits.Nikki treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try options that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what is working. That collaborative process helps match techniques like ACT or CBT to a person's real needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining ongoing support.
