About Nancy

LMFT in California with 12 years of experience, Nancy Chau helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem challenges, and depression. She works with adults in English and Vietnamese and focuses on practical, evidence-based techniques to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Nancy uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work. Sessions typically include problem clarification, skill practice, and steps to change patterns that cause distress. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, and control issues when those come up in conversation.

People often bring concerns such as postpartum depression, social anxiety, or responses to sexual assault and abuse. Nancy also supports those coping with guilt, shame, isolation, and caregiver stress. She addresses mood disorders and post-traumatic stress with methods that emphasize measurable progress and safety in pacing the work.

Her work is practical and collaborative. Nancy and the client set clear targets and check progress regularly. She adapts the plan as needs and circumstances change, and she explains techniques in plain language so clients can use them between sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English and Vietnamese. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Sheet 2

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Nancy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach is structured problem-solving and skills practice, which teaches specific steps people can use to manage anxiety, low mood, or relationship conflict. Another approach centers on pacing and stabilization for trauma-related concerns, with short exercises that reduce distress and build tolerance for deeper work.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Nancy will discuss goals, current difficulties, and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. She checks in about what is working and adjusts techniques as sessions progress so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving by reducing travel time. They also allow brief check-ins when a shorter contact is helpful, and they let people use approaches such as guided skills practice without needing to attend an office. Ask about formats and technical details during the sign-up flow so scheduling fits day-to-day life.
