About Nancy
Nancy Lopez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with three years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the strains that come with family and parenting roles. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Nancy focuses on concrete problem solving and making small changes that add up. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build more effective habits. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people want to find sustainable reasons to change.
She also draws on solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and track progress. That can mean starting with one behavior or conversation that feels manageable and building from there. The work is practical and paced to what a person can handle between sessions.
Nancy has experience addressing body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, immigration concerns, and mood disorders including panic. She supports people dealing with grief and hospice or end-of-life matters, and those facing prejudice, discrimination, or isolation.
Her style aims to be direct and respectful. Sessions tend to focus on what can be changed now, clear next steps, and checking how things are going. To begin, visitors use the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the booking flow.
How sessions work
Approaches and how they fit into online sessions
Nancy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions often focus on specific situations, practical exercises, and small experiments to try between meetings.She also applies motivational interviewing when someone needs to strengthen their own reasons for change. That approach relies on asking questions, reflecting what matters to the person, and helping them find their own momentum. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and identify concrete next steps that feel doable.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean combining parts of these approaches and adjusting plans as progress is tracked.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy day, pick a quieter time that works around caregiving or work, or avoid travel. Online meetings also make it easier to check progress more frequently and to practice strategies between sessions.
