Online sessions using cognitive behavioral methods
Nikkia Harper provides teletherapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She presents CBT in clear, practical terms, focusing on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and on identifying patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, low mood, or difficulties with attention. Work in sessions centers on learning specific strategies and practicing them between meetings to address current concerns such as parenting challenges or self esteem.
Her approach is collaborative: she treats the person as the expert of their own story and partners with clients to set goals, test new ways of responding, and build on existing strengths. This collaborative stance is intended to make sessions goal-focused and skill-oriented while remaining responsive to the individual’s priorities.
Teletherapy options include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering multiple ways to connect. These formats are used to carry out CBT-informed conversations, skill coaching, and check-ins tailored to the client’s needs.
