About Nancy
Nancy Martinez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with five years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems coming back. She uses client-centered techniques to focus on what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to break down unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.
Nancy often helps with attachment and abandonment worries that affect relationships. She also addresses issues tied to blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, control struggles, and multicultural concerns. When needed, she supports people coping with self-harm thoughts, intellectual disability, autism and Asperger syndrome, and responses to prejudice or discrimination.
Practical work is a common feature of her sessions. That can mean setting small goals between meetings, practicing new communication moves, or testing different ways of thinking during daily life. She favors clear, doable steps rather than abstract talk.
Phone sessions are preferred and are usually easier to schedule than video. Live chat is offered for short, last-minute check-ins when that fits a person’s needs. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people clarify values, feel heard, and decide on the next steps that matter to them. This approach is useful when relationship patterns or attachment worries are central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps break down anxious thinking and try small, practical behavior changes to test new ways of responding. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and low mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She will adjust plans based on how practical exercises and conversations land in daily life. Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy day. Phone sessions are noted as easier to arrange and can be a good option when a shorter check-in or less bandwidth is needed. Live chat can serve as a quick way to get a last-minute session or brief support. Confirm the current session options and how they run before booking so sessions fit into everyday life.Areas of expertise
