Nancy Cortez

Nancy Cortez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family challenges, and career stress. Nancy speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone seeking change.

She frames therapy around each person’s strengths and experience. Nancy believes clients are the experts on their own story, and she listens first to understand what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into daily life rather than abstract labels.

Nancy uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she offers space to talk, helps identify thinking and behavior patterns, and works toward realistic short-term goals. She adapts these methods to meet emotional needs and practical concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and supportive. Nancy helps people build coping skills, manage strong emotions, and set small goals that lead to real changes. She also pays attention to multicultural concerns and seasonal patterns like Seasonal Affective Disorder.

With five years of experience, Nancy aims to create a calm, focused process. She supports clients through self-harm thoughts, compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles by combining listening with clear techniques. To start, readers can follow the platform steps to match and schedule based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy means Nancy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. She offers empathic space where the client’s priorities guide the work and decisions about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In practice this often looks like naming specific thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors to see what changes in mood or stress levels.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on short-term goals and practical changes. Sessions often include small, concrete tasks to try between meetings and a focus on what’s already working in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will help clients choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level in a collaborative way. She checks in about what helps and adjusts methods over time so sessions stay useful.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule.
