About Nancy

Nancy Ramirez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports adults managing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem challenges, and major life changes. With a background in medical social work, she combines practical problem-solving with an understanding of how healthcare and life stressors intersect, helping people navigate burnout, relationship difficulties, and shifts in life purpose.

Nancy offers therapy in both English and Spanish and focuses on creating a respectful, attentive space where each person feels heard. Her approach is warm, direct, and practical - sessions aim to both process what is happening and to develop coping strategies that can be used right away. She also addresses communication problems, domestic violence concerns, and the work of building self-love.

Over four years of clinical experience inform her work, and she uses evidence-informed methods to support clients as they explore goals, build resilience, and find clearer direction. Nancy emphasizes collaboration, meeting people where they are, and helping them build tools that fit into everyday life. She encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed to reach out, reminding them they do not have to figure it out alone.

Approach-driven online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. It is often used for worry, low mood, and everyday coping challenges. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s own reasons for change and building motivation in a nonjudgmental way - it can be especially useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and immediate, achievable goals to create change more quickly, which can be helpful for clients seeking concrete strategies for parenting, communication, or life transitions.

Nancy uses these approaches as tools within a collaborative process; she helps clients choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time. Together they identify priorities and try approaches that feel most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from home, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily life while working with a licensed professional.
