About Nancy
Nancy Cortez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed by grief, or stuck in patterns that affect work and relationships. Nancy emphasizes respect for each person's strengths and choices as a starting point for change.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods to help people gain clarity and calm. Nancy often blends Client-Centered Therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. This mix supports short-term problem solving and deeper conversations about values and goals.
Sessions begin by hearing the whole story and identifying small, actionable steps. Nancy works with clients on mood, motivation, self-esteem, coping with trauma or abuse, and managing anger or addictions. She also addresses career stress, family concerns, compassion fatigue, and seasonal changes in mood.
Her approach is warm and collaborative. Nancy listens first, then offers strategies that fit each person's life. She draws on five years of professional experience in counseling to guide clients toward realistic progress.
For bilingual speakers, services are available in English and Spanish. People interested in starting can complete a short intake questionnaire and schedule sessions according to Nancy's availability.
How these approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and honoring a person's own goals. In practice this means sessions begin with the client's concerns and build from the client's strengths and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and what changes would look like when things are better.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods feel useful based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue work during seasonal mood changes or when managing compassion fatigue, while using the therapist's mix of person-centered listening and practical CBT or solution-focused tools.
