Anxiety for Teens, Young Professionals and Adults (Males & Females)

Nichole Walker, LPC, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor

“My clients leave their sessions feeling empowered, confident in their abilities to face life's challenges, and able to facilitate overall balance and healing from within. In essence, my clients learn to live their best lives unapologetically!”

My Story

Hi! I’m Nichole Walker, a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Board-Certified Counselor with over 14+ years of experience working with children, teens, tweens, parents, and adults to reach their personal best despite challenges they may face. My journey into the field of counseling began as a School Counselor for 10+ years in both the public and private school settings with a passion for working with children from k-12 with various mental health diagnoses and life challenges. Since transitioning into private practice as a therapist, I have been able to expand my reach and narrow my focus to empowering anxious clients with tools to feel more confident and less overwhelmed, teach those struggling in their relationships how to create balance and happiness, help individuals navigate life transitions and ultimately live their best life rooted in boundaries, unapologetically!

How I work

Making sure you feel safe, valued, and heard are my priorities. As your virtual therapist, I’ll partner with you to provide individualized counseling tailored to your specific needs. Working with clients 18+, I achieve this by integrating various modalities that I am trained in such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) where you make the connections between your brain, feelings and behaviors, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting (BSP) for the treatment of trauma, and holistic integration of Sound Healing and Breathwork, which is the conscious control of breathing incorporating sound to connect the mind, body, and spiritual healing. I love when my clients can see their progress through assessments or as evidenced by desired change in behaviors and outcomes. They leave their sessions feeling empowered, confident in their abilities to face life's challenges, and able to facilitate overall balance and healing from within. As Maya Angelou once said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

About Nichole

When I’m not seeing clients, I enjoy long baths, taking time to meditate, pray and practice sound healing with breathwork. I find that this helps me to relax, relieve stress and anxiety and rejuvenates me. I also love spending time with my two daughters binge watching shows on Netflix, Hulu or Disney+, connecting with my husband over conversations, daily talks with my mom, and going out to eat. We are also a Taekwondo family, so that keeps us active. Connecting and hanging out with friends, family and my sorority sisters when I have free time also energizes me.

Testimonials

“Deciding to go into therapy with Simplify Life Counseling + Coaching was the best decision I made and working with Nichole has been life-changing. From day one, she made me feel heard and understood. She helped me dig deep to find out where I was stuck and what was holding me back from living my best life. With that, I've been able to reconnect with my true self, allowing me to approach life fully...showing up as my best self for me and my loved ones. Working with Nichole has given me the tools to better stand up for myself and go after what I want in life, and for that I am forever grateful!”

“Therapy has changed my life; learning the basics of boundary setting and starting to learn emotional regulation and listening to my body has absolutely changed the way that I function both privately and relationally. Her encouragement and sometimes hard (necessary) truths came at the time I needed it the most, and I am really thankful for Nichole’s voice in some of the most challenging seasons for me yet.”

“I first started seeing Nichole the summer before I started college. During that time, I was dealing with family issues on top of navigating the transition into adulthood. Fortunately, Mrs. Nichole was always there to encourage me and push me out of my comfort zone, especially when it was difficult. I truly believe being able to talk to another Black woman as I am maturing and cultivating my sense of self has made all the difference in my journey. Because she always creates a safe space for me to make mistakes and grow, I have made tremendous progress on my journey of self-discovery, which is why I am so thankful that I get to continue to mature into the woman I want to be with her guiding me.”
