Nancy Lopez

Nancy Lopez is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. She speaks both English and Spanish and aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical next steps.

She creates a calm space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions often focus on building motivation, improving self-esteem, and finding ways to cope when mood or panic symptoms flare. Nancy also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, body image concerns, isolation, and the emotional impact of immigration and multicultural issues.

Her work draws on short-term, goal-oriented methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen readiness for change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, realistic goals to create momentum.

Nancy has three years of professional experience as an LCSW and brings a practical, encouraging style to sessions. She listens for cultural context and the practical barriers people face, and she tailors plans to individual needs. People often come to her when they need help with communication problems, life purpose questions, or coping during end-of-life and hospice situations.

To begin, she asks a few questions about current concerns and what each person hopes to get from counseling. From there she works collaboratively to set short-term goals and track progress in everyday life.

Approaches you can use with online counseling

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stress by breaking problems into specific, manageable steps.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s internal motivation to change. It involves open conversation about values and goals and helps people move from thinking about change to taking action.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and small, achievable changes. It helps people build momentum by identifying what already works and doing more of it.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and suggest one or a combination of methods. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan if needed.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can work around a work break, and selecting a simpler session type can help when bandwidth is limited. Discuss practical scheduling needs when you start so sessions match daily routines and goals.
