About Nixalys
Nixalys draws on 13 years of counseling experience within a longer career in human services. She believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, strengths-based attitude to sessions. The focus is on practical steps clients can use between meetings as well as in the room.
Her work often centers on improving communication, healing from past hurts, and addressing attachment and control issues. She helps people deal with guilt, shame, isolation, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. She also supports those coping with panic attacks, mood concerns, and trauma-related symptoms.
Sessions combine down-to-earth conversation with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and working on motivation for change in small, achievable steps. Nixalys encourages people to build self-compassion and clearer goals as they move forward.
She values cultural diversity and enjoys working with Spanish-speaking clients. Her approach is collaborative and practical, focusing on what a person needs now to feel more capable and steady through life changes.
How CBT and Motivational Interviewing inform online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It often uses clear exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and behaving.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost a person's own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone build motivation and set realistic next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each client to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences so sessions feel useful and doable. This is a joint process where the plan can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations within the therapist's service area.
