About Nicholas

Nicholas 'Nick' Navarro is a Washington state Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. He works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and anger. Nick focuses on concrete strategies clients can use day to day rather than abstract theory.

In sessions he uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and learn new ways to respond under pressure. He also draws on Existential Therapy to help clients consider meaning and values when life feels uncertain. Conversations look at what’s happening now and what small changes feel doable.

Nick pays attention to how relationships and communication shape mood and behavior. He helps clients who struggle with attachment concerns, loneliness, or problems saying what they need. He also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, bipolar mood challenges, and the fallout of past abuse or traumatic events.

Work with him usually includes setting short-term goals, practicing skills between sessions, and checking progress together. Sessions often focus on lowering reactivity, improving communication, and developing coping plans for hard moments. Nick encourages straightforward talk about setbacks and what works.

To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Subscription billing is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

CBT helps map the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative responses in real situations. This approach is useful for anxiety, anger, and depression where thinking patterns keep problems going.

DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving how you interact with others. Through online sessions clients often learn grounding techniques, distress tolerance skills, and practical communication tools to try between meetings.

Existential Therapy looks at values, purpose, and what matters when life feels uncertain. Online conversations can help clients clarify priorities and make choices that align with those priorities. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions. That process can include trying different techniques and checking what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins on hectic days, or remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions let them practice skills in the environments where their difficulties happen, while still keeping scheduling flexible.
