About Nancy
Nancy Martinez is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) based in California with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship and family concerns, and build self-esteem. She also supports clients coping with depression and questions about life purpose.
Nancy uses a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name what matters most and set small, doable goals. Her style is warm and patient, aiming to reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning one step at a time.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s experience central. That means conversations are guided by the client’s priorities and pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes between sessions.
Nancy has experience with issues related to attachment and abandonment, communication and blended family challenges, and multicultural concerns including prejudice and discrimination. She also supports people managing impulsivity, control issues, self-harm thoughts, intellectual disability concerns, and autism or Asperger syndrome related challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Scheduling can vary week to week, so Nancy encourages people to message if posted slots do not match their needs. She asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Nancy’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what a person says, asks gentle questions, and helps clarify what the client wants to change. It’s useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves noticing thoughts and testing whether they help or get in the way. Sessions often include simple exercises and concrete tasks to try between meetings, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as the client learns more about what helps and what doesn’t, and the therapist adjusts tools and pacing accordingly.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are set by the therapist. When planning, consider practical benefits of online therapy such as easier scheduling for busy days, shorter check-ins that fit a work break, and phone sessions when video would be difficult. These options can make regular sessions simpler to keep while still focusing on measurable steps and real-life changes.
