About Nickolas
Nickolas Raczek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses a straightforward, client-focused way of working. He emphasizes creating an open space where people can talk about strong feelings like anger, grief, anxiety, and low self-esteem. He aims to help clients take the first steps toward change with steady support and practical direction.
He draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in the client's priorities. That means sessions often start by listening closely to what matters most, then shaping goals around those concerns.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can ease stress and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive responses. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
Narrative therapy can help reframe difficult experiences and reduce shame or guilt. Over five years of work, he has helped people facing relationship strain, anger, trauma, and sexuality questions, including kink and non-traditional relationship styles. He also supports people coping with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The therapist notes that starting therapy takes courage, and he focuses on practical next steps while respecting each person's pace and goals.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals that matter to the person. In an online session this often looks like the therapist asking about immediate concerns, reflecting what he hears, and helping set small steps forward that fit daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or anger. Online work can include setting short homework tasks, tracking moods between sessions, and checking progress over video or text.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and impulsive actions. Skills training can be practiced in session and reinforced with brief messages or exercises between meetings.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as you learn what works best together.
Online formats offer flexibility - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone for lower bandwidth or hands-free sessions, live chat for typed back-and-forth, and text messaging for short check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while using the therapeutic tools that match your situation.
