More about Nichelle
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I’m a Washington-licensed clinician with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. I specialize in working with those navigating stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, career transitions, and the impact of chronic conditions like adrenal fatigue, weight imbalances, and pain—especially when linked to blood sugar and nutrition. I also have deep experience supporting neurodivergent adults, including those on the autism spectrum, with challenges related to focus, memory, and attention.
My approach is client-centered and holistic. I help people explore how diet, stress, family history, life experiences, community support, and generational patterns shape their mental, emotional, and physical health. I believe healing begins when we connect the dots and listen to the body, mind, and spirit.

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.
