About Nakhary
Her approach is practical and down to earth. Nakhary uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance and commitment therapy to help people act toward what matters. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports change, and attachment-based and client-centered ideas help create a respectful space to talk.
Over ten years of work have shaped her style. She focuses on helping clients find doable steps for everyday life, like better communication, handling control issues, and rebuilding self-love. Sessions often center on small, repeatable practices rather than abstract promises.
Nakhary is licensed as an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and as an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, in Florida. She brings experience supporting people through trauma, parenting challenges, career questions, and ADHD-related struggles. She aims to leave each person with clearer next steps and a sense that progress is possible.
Her bilingual ability often helps Spanish speakers feel heard without language getting in the way. If someone wants help sorting priorities, managing anger, or coping with loss, Nakhary offers a calm, steady presence and practical methods to try.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward meaningful goals. It can help with anger, anxiety, and low mood by shifting focus to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful when communication or trust issues come up.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will try different methods to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs guide which tools are used.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also support steady progress through exercises and conversations between appointments. Ask about the specific session options when you start so scheduling matches everyday life and goals.
