About Nancy
LCSW in New Mexico with five years of clinical therapy experience, Nancy Martinez focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addiction, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She offers therapy informed by Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Existential, and Jungian approaches. Sessions can include exploration of faith when requested. Nancy conducts work in English and does not take international clients.
Nancy uses clear, direct conversation to help people manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and practice alternative coping steps. Dialectical skill work is offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Her master's degree is in social work with an emphasis on clinical practice and bilingual/bicultural studies. Early research included fieldwork in pueblos in Mexico. That background informs an attention to cultural context and life experience when planning treatment.
Nancy has had roles across mental health settings over a total of about sixteen years in the field, with five years focused in clinical therapy. She combines practical skill-building with reflective discussion. When requested, she incorporates Christian and Biblical perspectives into sessions.
People often begin by naming a current stressor or symptom. Nancy typically helps set short-term goals, practices specific coping skills, and reviews progress across sessions. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on what matters to the person in front of the therapist, using listening and reflection to clarify goals and next steps. This approach helps when someone wants to be heard and to shape the pace of work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT provides practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and tolerating distress. DBT skill practice can support people who struggle with intense moods or repeated behavior patterns that cause problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation may lead to a mix of listening, skill practice, and reflective work over several sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter or more flexible appointments. It can also support people who prefer to meet from a familiar setting or who need options that fit their daily routine.
