About Nancy

Nancy Lopez is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Nancy creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings.

She offers support and practical steps for people ready to make changes in their lives. Nancy draws on three years of professional experience to guide conversations toward actionable goals.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward techniques to boost motivation and confidence. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to test what works. Her work also touches on body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues related to immigration and multicultural stress.

Nancy helps people facing isolation, life purpose questions, panic attacks, and mood concerns by breaking problems into manageable pieces. She also addresses topics such as self-harm, sexuality, and women’s issues with attention and care. Nancy is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

These methods shape how she and a client set goals and track progress. She speaks English and Spanish and holds a California LCSW license (CA LCSW 122021). Clients work with Nancy through a mix of conversation, practical exercises, and follow-up steps between sessions.

Her style emphasizes collaboration, clear next steps, and steady support while people try new ways of coping and relating to themselves.

How her approaches translate to online care

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behavior to see what helps. CBT is practical and works on day-to-day problems like anxiety, low mood, and panic symptoms.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to build motivation for change. It focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps clarify goals without pressure. This approach fits well when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nancy will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts tools over time based on what is helping and what is not, so the work stays focused and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to follow up between meetings. Many people find the variety of formats helps them stay consistent and practice new skills in real time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
