About Nancy
Nancy Cortez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation problems, depression, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, multicultural concerns, and self-harm. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her approach is practical and organized. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen and build on a person’s strengths. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, concrete steps that move things forward.
In sessions she helps people name the patterns that keep problems going. She offers clear strategies to change those patterns and checks progress week to week. Conversations aim to be direct and focused on what someone can do between appointments.
Nancy emphasizes collaboration. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps turn their goals into manageable tasks. That can mean practicing coping skills, changing routines, or trying new ways to communicate.
Practical matters are straightforward. Therapy uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. International clients are not accepted.
How Nancy uses practical approaches in online sessions
Nancy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that raise anxiety or deepen low mood, then practices new behaviors to test if those thoughts change. Client-Centered Therapy is used to listen closely and build on a person’s existing strengths while shaping goals together. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and short-term goals to create measurable progress. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily routine. That means checking what helps and adjusting strategies over time rather than sticking to a single method. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. They also let people practice skills in the settings where challenges happen and quickly apply what is discussed in session to real life.Areas of expertise
