About Nancy
Nancy Cortez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation. She supports clients facing depression, grief, anger, and addiction-related concerns. Nancy emphasizes that people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives, and she aims to be a steady partner as they take steps toward change.
Her approach keeps conversations focused and practical. She tends to listen closely, ask clear questions, and help people build small, usable skills they can try between sessions. Common topics include coping with life changes, work and career stress, and dealing with compassion fatigue.
Nancy uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's perspective and priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her work when clients want short-term, goal-oriented plans.
She has five years of counseling experience and brings that practical background to each meeting. Nancy also pays attention to multicultural concerns and can support people dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder or thoughts of self-harm as part of broader care planning.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People interested in starting are asked to use the platform Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
How these approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the center of the session. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and follows the person's priorities so work stays relevant to real life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps people try small changes in thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and practical steps to move toward specific outcomes.Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options together and pick approaches that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person day to day.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use a mix of focused skill work and problem-solving conversations without changing their daily routine.
