Dr. Nici Richardson‑McFarland is a Licensed Professional Counselor, chaplain, educator, and supervisor who specializes in supporting individuals and families through grief, trauma, spiritual distress, and seasons of profound change. She works with clients across the lifespan and has particular expertise with caregivers, helping professionals, and military‑connected families navigating complex or disenfranchised grief.

Nici’s therapeutic approach is warm, steady, and deeply relational. She integrates trauma‑informed, meaning‑based, and narrative frameworks to help clients make sense of their experiences, reconnect with their internal resources, and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe. She honors the cultural, spiritual, and identity contexts that shape each client’s story, and she brings a grounded, compassionate presence to every session.

In addition to her clinical work, Nici serves as an educator and supervisor for emerging counselors, teaching graduate‑level ethics, crisis counseling, and trauma-informed practice. She draws from her experience in counseling centers, faith‑based settings, and community organizations, and she is known for her ability to hold space for complex emotional landscapes with clarity, humility, and care.

Nici offers in‑person sessions in her Grapevine, Texas office and virtual sessions for clients across the state. She is committed to creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to explore their stories with honesty and compassion.
