Nichole Esparza, LPC, LPCC

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and Nichole Esparza focuses on helping adults navigate those heavier seasons with steadiness and practical support. She works with individuals facing anxiety that is hard to quiet, repetitive patterns that cause exhaustion or disconnection, and the aftermath of events that shift a person’s sense of self and direction. Nichole meets people where they are and partners with them to build a clearer, more grounded sense of who they are and how to move forward.

As a licensed therapist practicing in New Mexico and Texas, Nichole holds the credentials LPC and LPCC - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - indicating formal training and state licensure to provide clinical care. Her work centers on compassion and collaboration, blending exploration of the inner world with concrete skill-building so individuals can better manage thoughts and emotions while reconnecting with what matters most to them.

Nichole draws on Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside person-centered ways of working. This combination supports both exploration and practical change - identifying internal parts and patterns, learning tools to regulate emotions, and clarifying personal values rather than following what is merely expected. She creates a space where people do not need to perform or prove anything and are invited to show up as they are, even when that feels messy.

Her practice emphasizes unpacking what has felt heavy and beginning to build new ways of being that feel more sustainable and connected. Nichole approaches each therapeutic relationship as a collaboration, offering steadiness, curiosity, and skills-oriented guidance for those ready to take a first step toward growth and healing.
