About Nancy
Nancy Cortez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, anger, relationship strain, and concerns like self-esteem and addictions. Sessions can be in English or Spanish and use simple, practical talk to set clear goals.
Nancy centers sessions on each person's strengths and choices. She treats the client as the expert on their own life and works alongside them to build new skills.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on real situations and small, doable steps rather than complicated jargon. Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused work. That means she listens closely, helps spot thinking patterns that cause distress, and practices small changes that produce noticeable results.
Sessions often include concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve coping. Nancy has five years of professional experience as an LPC. She draws on that background to offer straightforward, respectful care.
People seeking support for seasonal mood shifts, multicultural concerns, compassion fatigue, or self-harm thoughts can bring those topics into session. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started is a step-by-step process: select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session when it fits the client’s calendar.
How Nancy’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so clients can explore what matters to them and find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through feelings or life challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect emotions and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable changes and immediate goals. It is useful when someone wants clear steps and quick ways to move forward from a stuck place.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on what works best.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different routines and comfort levels. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help make regular therapy more manageable for busy lives.
