About Nancy

Nancy Lopez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with three years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, family strain, and life changes using practical, straightforward methods.

She focuses on issues such as self-esteem, body image, caregiver stress, and mood disorders.

Her work includes support around hospice and end-of-life matters and conversations about sexuality and women’s issues.

Nancy uses approaches grounded in everyday problem solving.

She aims for clear steps people can try between sessions.

In sessions she talks through immediate concerns and practical coping tools. She helps people break big problems into smaller, more manageable pieces. Conversations are direct and focused on what a person wants to change next.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Nancy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and day-to-day stress because it focuses on clear practices people can test between sessions.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change. That approach centers on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own reasons to act. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her work as well, with short-term goals and practical steps that make progress visible quickly.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. She will discuss which approach fits a person’s goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or school commitments. They can also allow a quicker check-in when time is limited or let conversations focus on concrete problem-solving without travel.
