Hello! My name is Niekachi Nwogu. I am a licensed therapist in California, practicing for over 10 years. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping adults address challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, family issues, and life transitions. With a compassionate, person-centered approach, I create a nurturing space where clients can gain deeper insight on themselves, for acceptance, healing, and growth.
I challenge and guide participants towards learning and applying effective communication patterns for self-expression and problem solving. Life can be demanding at times, which leads to stress and emotional challenges. I provide counseling and coaching to individuals to empower them in identifying their strengths, building confidence, and motivation towards overcoming and moving through stressors in life.
My therapeutic work focuses on addressing internal and external struggles including, mood disorders, anxiety, phobias, transition & workplace stress, isolation, family issues, and interpersonal struggles. I'm committed to helping clients develop resilience, rebuild self-esteem, and discover meaningful pathways forward. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support individuals in understanding their unique experiences and cultivating adaptive thinking and behavior patterns towards improving well-being and for a healthier lifestyle. I also provide Christian counseling/faith-based practices upon request.
Through our collaborative work, I aim to empower clients to overcome obstacles, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace their inherent strengths, while discovering new ones! Whether you're wrestling with life changes, relationship challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
