Jennifer Nichols, MA, LPC-S

My Practice

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Supervisor in the state of Texas. With over 21 years in private practice and practice within public schools, I am able to offer my clients a wealth of experience and knowledge that is based in Attachment, Child Centered (for Play Therapy), and Solution Focused Brief Therapies, among others. As a wife and mother of 3 children, I bring real life experience into my practice as well.

Treatment Focus

My work with children, couples, families, and individuals has the same focus - to help my clients reach their highest functional potential, to support their journey, and to help them imagine and create their own preferred futures so that they can see them to fruition.

My Client Promise

Change is very often difficult and can feel overwhelming and impossible. I promise to provide encouragement and resources to support along the way as my clients work toward their life-changing goals.

The Therapeutic Journey

What Is Counseling / Therapy?

 

All paths lead to growth. It is up to the individual to determine if this is positive or negative growth. It is the role of the Therapist to assist clients in building bridges to healing through focusing on strengths and positive future outcomes. Through this collaborative therapeutic relationship, individuals and families can realize social and emotional successes, increasing happiness and functionality.

Jennifer Nichols, MA, LPC-S

Jennifer uses an attachment-centered therapeutic approach, incorporating theory from Person and Child-Centered Theory, Systems Theory, and aspects of Adlerian Theory as well. Techniques will be used from these as well as Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and multi-disciplinary techniques in Sandtray Therapy.


Jennifer's Play Therapy approach is almost always purely child-centered. Click below to find out more about Play Therapy and how it is the only appropriate way to work with small children...

Co-Creator of Solution Focused Brief Therapy -- Insoo Kim Be

What is Solution Focused Brief Therapy and where did it come from? Who created it? How does it work? Insoo Kim Berg & Steve de Shazer created this very effective approach to working with clients in mental health therapy. Here Insoo Kim Berg gives a short talk as a keynote speaker outlining all of that. Bad audio, but very interesting!

What is Solution Focused Brief Therapy -- a quick look

I found Elliott Connie almost 20 years ago and am proud to have had most of my post graduate school training shaped/facilitated by him and his work with SFBT -- along with creators Insoo Kim Berg & Steve de Shazer. I was forever changed when I went for a weekend intensive at Elliott's practice and learned the SFBT approach with couples, and have never turned back! Watch Elliott plainly explain what SFBT truly IS.
