About Nancy

LMFT in California with 5 years of clinical experience, Nancy Martinez helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. She works in English and Spanish and uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy. Nancy prefers phone sessions and also offers live chat as an option for short or last-minute meetings.

Nancy focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She listens first, then helps identify patterns that keep problems going. With cognitive behavioral techniques she looks at thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or low mood, and she practices small changes in session that can be repeated at home.

The client-centered part of her work means she follows the client's pace and priorities. She encourages people to name what matters most and to set manageable goals. Sessions may include problem-solving around family roles, clearer communication tactics, or building routines that support mood and confidence.

Nancy has experience addressing attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, communication problems, and multicultural concerns including prejudice and discrimination. She also supports people coping with impulsivity, control issues, self-harm, intellectual disability, and life-purpose questions.

Practicalities are discussed up front. She asks clients to use the platform matching questionnaire, pick a session type, and schedule a first meeting. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location. For current session options and weekly scheduling, clients are encouraged to confirm details before booking.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the pace the client sets. This approach helps when people need to talk through relationship or family issues and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. Sessions often involve noticing unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Nancy will work with the client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She may use client-centered listening at first and then introduce CBT techniques if they suit the issue.

Practical benefits of remote work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Nancy prefers phone sessions and also offers live chat for short or last-minute contacts, so clients should confirm current session options before booking. Remote sessions can make check-ins, short problem-solving conversations, and regular appointments easier to keep without long travel.
