About Nakhary
Nakhary Esparragoza Bruce is a Florida-licensed counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to self-esteem and ADHD.
Background and approach
She draws on ten years of clinical experience to help clients untangle overwhelming situations, address anger and control issues, and rebuild self-love and communication skills. Fluent in English and Spanish, she offers guidance tailored to each person’s circumstances and goals.
Her practice emphasizes practical strategies and compassionate listening. Nakhary integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives to help clients identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and develop actionable coping skills.
Motivational interviewing also informs her work when change feels difficult or stalled. Nakhary holds LPC and LMHC credentials (SC LPC 8629, FL LMHC MH18694) and practices in Florida.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping people move from feeling stuck toward clearer priorities, healthier relationships, and more manageable day-to-day routines.
How evidence-based approaches translate into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build coping skills, which can help with stress, mood concerns, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and how early connections influence current relationships, supporting work on communication, trust, and family dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist collaborates with each client to assess needs and preferences, trying different strategies and adjusting the plan over time so techniques fit the person’s goals and circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and allow people to access care from home or work. These formats support continuity of care and let therapists provide structured exercises, homework, and check-ins in ways that match a client’s lifestyle and pace.
