About Nikki
Nikki Easter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and LGBT questions. She meets people where they are and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Conversations are respectful and straightforward so worries can be talked through without jargon.
Nikki shapes sessions around each person's needs and goals. She listens for patterns in stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, then helps them try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
This can include looking at thoughts and behaviors, building coping skills, and naming the values that matter most. Her background spans eight years in clinical work in Texas. That experience includes helping people with attachment concerns, abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, and relationship challenges.
She also has experience supporting those working through issues related to alternative sexual cultures such as kink and BDSM, and with problems like dissociation and eating or food-related struggles. Nikki uses approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
She adapts techniques to fit each person's pace and comfort level rather than applying one fixed method. Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online through multiple formats. Nikki encourages people to be curious about the process and to bring whatever feels most important to the first meeting.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Nikki directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and skills-based approaches work online
Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. Online sessions let people notice unhelpful storylines and try new meanings while talking through real-life examples. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines noticing thoughts and feelings with choosing actions tied to personal values. Online work with ACT often uses short exercises and values-checks between sessions to keep progress steady. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. In online sessions this can mean mapping relationship patterns and trying new ways of relating in day-to-day life.
Nikki treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean combining narrative questions with ACT exercises or using attachment-focused conversations alongside practical coping skills.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper, face-to-face work while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break. Live chat and text messaging can help with quick check-ins, brief coaching, or pacing therapy over the week. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to try different rhythms until the right fit is found.
