About Nancy
Nancy Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with five years of clinical therapy experience and a longer career in the mental health field. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and bipolar mood concerns, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions can include faith-based support on request.
Her approach is direct and practical. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thought linked to mood and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation and managing intense feelings.
Nancy's master's degree is in Social Work with emphasis on clinical practice and bilingual/bicultural studies. Her early work included a thesis completed with pueblos in Mexico, and she draws on that community experience in sessions. She also has many years of broader mental health work across different roles.
In practical terms, she helps people develop coping skills for everyday life. That can mean strategies for managing chronic pain or illness, addressing substance use, or navigating feelings of emptiness, guilt, and isolation. She can also address process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviors.
People meet a clinician who prefers plain talk and step-by-step planning. Expect collaboration on goals, skill practice between sessions, and follow-through on real-life challenges. Nancy works with adults 18 and older and offers therapy within a Christian and Biblical context when asked.
BHow sessions work
How therapy approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people clarify feelings and priorities so they can set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behavior links; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation through concrete exercises. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with mood swings and impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That may mean trying a skills-based method first, then adding reflective or existential exploration as needed. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for practicing CBT exercises or DBT skills while others suit longer reflective conversations. Discuss preferences and practical constraints with the therapist when scheduling to find an approach that fits everyday life.
