About Nancy

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 5 years of experience, Nancy Cortez helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes. She also works with people dealing with compassion fatigue, multicultural concerns, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and self-harm. Nancy speaks English and Spanish and uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused approaches.

Nancy starts by listening to what matters most to each person. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps. People can expect straightforward conversation and focused work rather than abstract theory.

Her style draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes understanding the client's perspective and valuing their choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term, achievable goals to create momentum.

Over five years she has worked with varied concerns related to mood, stress, and life transitions. Nancy applies practical tools and homework when useful, so clients can practice skills between sessions. Language options include English and Spanish for assessment and therapy.

Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Confirm current session formats before booking to ensure they match personal needs.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Nancy uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sure the client's perspective guides the work. That approach focuses on listening closely and valuing the client's choices, which helps when sorting priorities and deciding next steps.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and to test new behaviors. CBT work often includes clear exercises and short tasks to try between sessions, useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nancy collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She reviews what is working and adjusts the focus as needed so sessions stay practical and goal-focused.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow for work on CBT exercises between meetings and for setting realistic steps that fit everyday routines.
