Nancy Martinez

Nancy Martinez is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with five years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. Nancy also supports clients dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, and issues around self-love and life purpose.

Her sessions are warm and respectful. She listens first and uses practical steps to help people feel steadier. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make daily life easier.

Nancy blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, matching the approach to each person’s needs. She aims to make goals clear and achievable, and she checks in often about progress. Spanish and English are both available for people who prefer one language over the other.

Her practice addresses a wide range of specific concerns, including communication problems, control issues, domestic violence, impulsivity, intellectual disability, autism and Asperger syndrome, multicultural concerns, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. She also works with people managing self-harm thoughts and those seeking stronger self-love.

Practical scheduling notes are part of how she works. Phone sessions are preferred and easier to schedule than video, and live chat is offered for shorter last-minute check-ins. Availability can change weekly, so the best way to arrange sessions is to send a message about which days and times work for you.

How Nancy Uses Talk and Practical Skills Online

Client-Centered Therapy is about being heard and respected. In this approach the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and build on their strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful patterns, and build coping skills for everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and easier scheduling. Nancy notes that phone sessions are preferred and often simpler to arrange than video, and live chat can be used for shorter, last-minute check-ins. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available.
