About Nancy Martinez

Nancy Martinez is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with five years of professional experience helping individuals and families navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and depression. As an LMFT - a credential that denotes specialized training in relational and family systems - she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every therapeutic interaction.

Nancy works with a broad range of concerns including self-esteem and confidence, motivation, family conflicts, and issues related to attachment and abandonment. Her practice also addresses blended family dynamics, communication and control challenges, multicultural concerns, and topics such as autism and intellectual disability when they intersect with family and relationship needs. She approaches each case with attention to the client’s background and goals, tailoring support to what matters most to the individual or family.

Phone sessions are preferred and are generally easier to schedule than video appointments, while live chat offers a quick option for last-minute needs. Nancy’s weekly availability can change, and her schedule is most current the week prior to the start of the upcoming week. If a client does not see available sessions for the week after their appointment, they are encouraged to send a message if that concern has not already been discussed in session by mom, so a day and time can be scheduled. If existing slots do not work or there is no suitable time, clients should send a message to explore alternatives. She looks forward to working with new clients and supporting their progress.

Nancy Martinez incorporates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive environment where the client’s own goals and values guide the process - it is often helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and exploring life purpose. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and it can be effective for managing anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Nancy collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing in partnership with clients so the work feels intentional and manageable.

Online therapy with Nancy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, accommodate last-minute needs with chat sessions, and choose the format that supports consistent progress.
