About Nancy

Nancy Lopez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and panic symptoms. She keeps sessions straightforward and calm so clients can talk about what feels most urgent. Nancy speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a space where people can be honest about hard feelings without judgment.

She draws on three years of professional experience working with depression, mood shifts, motivation struggles, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, immigration-related stress, and loneliness. Conversations often start with small practical steps that make daily life a little easier.

Nancy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She brings Solution-Focused Therapy ideas to set clear, achievable goals and track small wins. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people find their own reasons to change and stick with them.

Her style is collaborative and plainspoken. She will listen, reflect what she hears, and suggest simple exercises to practice between visits. The emphasis is on useful tools you can use right away rather than long explanations.

People come for help with panic, coping with life changes, family-related stress, body image, and women's issues among other concerns. If you want direct guidance and steady support while you work toward clearer thinking and calmer days, Nancy aims to partner with you through that process.

Approaches that guide online work

Nancy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new responses to reduce distress. CBT can help with panic symptoms, anxiety, and everyday mood shifts.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and notice small improvements. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore a person’s own reasons for change and strengthen commitment to next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Nancy works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as progress is made.

Confirm available session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during short breaks. Some formats also let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, or keep sessions brief for quick skill practice between longer meetings.
