About Nola
Dr. Nola Litwins is a Texas psychologist (TX Psychologist 30805) with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and problems tied to chronic illness. She also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Litwins has a long history of working with people who have chronic medical conditions, traumatic brain injury, and geriatric concerns. Much of her work has involved helping clients navigate life changes and medical challenges, including support for people preparing for or recovering from weight-loss surgery.
Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral methods alongside solution-focused techniques. She often helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test new ways of coping, and set short-term goals to make day-to-day life more manageable. When useful, she will look into past experiences to help people understand recurring patterns.
Sessions emphasize a collaborative relationship. She listens to what people want to change and works with them to try practical steps that fit their circumstances. Conversations can include skills for managing panic, methods for mood regulation, and strategies for navigating relationship or caregiving stress.
Clients who bring concerns about body image, eating and food-related issues, anger, or compassion fatigue will find these topics included in her practice. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders when they affect functioning and quality of life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration; the therapist focuses on what the person wants to change and works with them to set realistic goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily states with less reactivity, which can reduce overwhelm and improve coping.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether more CBT, solution-focused tasks, or mindfulness practices are used, and the plan can shift over time as needs change.
Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online delivery can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or a lunch break, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time when managing chronic health issues. Working remotely can also make it simpler to continue regular meetings during life transitions, while the therapist and client collaborate on what will work best for scheduling and goals.
