About Nancy
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Illinois with four years of experience, Nancy Ramirez helps adults manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and life changes. She works in English and Spanish and draws on clinical approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
Nancy focuses on practical, short-term changes as well as deeper patterns that keep problems returning. Sessions mix clear, action-oriented skills with chances to reflect on how thoughts and relationships shape feelings. She uses tools from CBT to spot unhelpful thinking, Motivational Interviewing to support change, and Solution-Focused techniques to set realistic goals.
Her background includes medical social work, which informs how she talks about stress related to health systems and medical appointments. That experience guides how she helps people plan for appointments, manage paperwork stress, or cope with health-related life shifts. She brings those day-to-day problem-solving skills into general life concerns too.
Parents can bring questions about communication, boundaries, and self-care while juggling responsibilities. Nancy also addresses experiences of domestic violence and helps people reflect on life purpose and self-love in concrete steps. Sessions aim to leave clients with at least one usable strategy to try between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. In sessions that means identifying a few specific thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what worked between meetings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns.Motivational Interviewing focuses on the client’s own reasons for change. The therapist listens for what matters most to the person and guides short conversations that strengthen motivation and commitment. This approach is useful when someone is weighing change around parenting habits, self-care, or life choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining CBT skill practice, motivational conversations, and goal-focused steps from Solution-Focused Therapy over several sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time on workdays. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises for video or phone meetings, and Nancy will help choose practical ways to use the session time based on the client’s schedule and needs.
