Nicole Garza, LCSW

Nicole Garza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, grief, sleep issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Garza draws on several practical therapy methods to address everyday problems. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based, and Client-Centered work to help people clarify values, manage emotions, and change patterns that cause distress. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete skills for coping in daily life.

Her background includes military service in the U.S. Army and clinical work across multiple states, which she says shaped how she supports people through life transitions and complex stressors. She has experience with substance use concerns, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress reactions, and she lists additional focus areas like attachment wounds, caregiver stress, body image, and isolation.

Nicole emphasizes a working relationship built on honesty and consistent effort. Initial sessions typically identify goals and start measuring progress in straightforward ways. She uses family systems and psychodynamic ideas as part of understanding patterns that repeat across relationships.

People seeking a practical, goal-focused LCSW who uses evidence-informed therapies may find this approach helpful. Sessions are conducted in English and Nicole accepts international clients; confirm current session options before scheduling.
