Introduction

Hi, I’m Nicole Obih (she/they), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Celestial Shift Therapy. I provide virtual therapy for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC adults across Texas and Florida, including Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Tampa, Orlando, and Miami. I specialize in working with queer, trans, and questioning adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in practical tools from CBT and ACT to help you create real, sustainable change. You might be seeking therapy if you’re: • questioning your identity • healing from discrimination or family conflict • feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out • processing racial or generational trauma • learning boundaries and self-trust • ready to live more authentically As a Black queer therapist, I understand what it means to move through the world with intersecting identities. You won’t have to explain yourself or shrink parts of who you are. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded — a space where you can unpack what you’ve been carrying and move forward with clarity and confidence. If you’re ready for support that feels affirming, strategic, and real, I’d be honored to work with you. Specialties: LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, BIPOC mental health, trauma recovery, racial identity, anxiety, depression, CBT, ACT, online therapy.
