About Nancy
Nancy Lopez helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or big life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in California. Nancy speaks English and Spanish and focuses on building practical skills that fit daily life.
She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. Nancy uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people break down problems into manageable steps. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support shifts in motivation and confidence.
Background and approach
With three years of professional experience, Nancy has supported people dealing with depression, mood swings, panic attacks, and low self-esteem. She also helps with body image concerns, caregiver stress, isolation, and issues related to immigration and multicultural stressors. Hospice and end-of-life topics are also within her experience.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals, practical strategies, and steady progress. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings, and everyday actions that can change how someone copes. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can try new ways of handling hard moments.
Nancy offers several remote formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She works with each person to set achievable steps and track what is helping, adjusting the plan as things change.
Online approaches for practical change
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and low self-esteem by teaching concrete coping skills and small behavior changes.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change. It helps people find their own reasons and motivation to try new habits or stick with goals, which can be useful for improving confidence and managing difficult routines.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Techniques may be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit a quick check-in or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and day-to-day support easier to schedule. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
