About Nancy
Nancy Cortez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage anxiety and stress. She also supports clients facing trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship strain, and difficulties with self-esteem. Nancy speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel more manageable for anyone reaching out.
Nancy frames therapy around each person's strengths. She believes people know their own stories and that those strengths can guide change.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and tools clients can try between meetings, so progress continues outside the session room. Her work draws on client-centered listening to understand what matters most to the client. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at unhelpful thought patterns and to build different coping skills.
She also uses solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals and track meaningful progress over time. With five years of experience, Nancy has supported people coping with addiction, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and seasonal mood challenges. She also addresses multicultural concerns and self-harm with care and attention to each person's background and needs.
Her style is direct but empathetic, aiming to make steps forward feel realistic. Nancy offers sessions in several online formats so conversations can fit into a busy life. She encourages people to take the first step and says that reaching out is itself an act of courage.
From the first meeting she works with clients to build a plan that fits their goals and daily routines.
Approach-driven online care that fits your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and identifying strengths to build on. This approach helps when someone feels stuck or needs a supportive space to clarify what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on specific, short-term goals and concrete steps to move forward. It is useful when someone wants fast momentum and clear ways to measure progress.
Nancy works collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. She discusses goals and preferences and adapts methods over time so the plan fits the client's needs and life circumstances.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video works well for conversations that benefit from face-to-face cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments while keeping focus on practical progress.
