About Nicole
Dr. Nicole Harder is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 18 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem difficulties, and challenges around motivation and life changes. Dr. Harder also addresses addictions, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and person-focused. She listens to what matters most and adapts conversation and plans to each person's situation. Practical steps and clear goals are used alongside conversation to make progress actionable.
Dr. Harder draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s lead and build trust. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are weighing change, and Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term, achievable goals.
Her work includes supporting people dealing with family of origin issues, abandonment, body image, codependency, and communication problems. She also addresses caregiver stress, divorce and separation, substance concerns, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions of life purpose.
Sessions are practical and conversation-based, with an emphasis on finding what helps in daily life. People who prefer a direct, goal-oriented approach may find this style useful. To begin, follow the practice’s intake steps to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. In practice this means sessions begin by asking what matters most and adjusting conversation accordingly. It helps with relationship concerns, grief, and self-worth issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions to find small tests and changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns by setting clear, measurable steps to try between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps people who are unsure about change. The approach uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify values and build readiness for choices related to addiction, health behaviors, or lifestyle changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods to use, based on goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help when a quicker or simpler session is needed.
