About Nancy
Nancy Cortez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 5 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Nancy approaches sessions as a collaborative conversation. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and starts by listening to what they want to change. From there she helps people set clear, manageable goals and pick small steps that can make day-to-day life easier.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help notice unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify what already works and build on those strengths.
In a typical session Nancy will talk through recent situations, help a person test new ways of responding, and review what felt useful between meetings. She uses straightforward language and short, achievable tasks rather than long lists of homework.
Nancy also pays attention to cultural background and seasonal mood changes when these affect how someone copes. She can discuss concerns around self-harm directly and helps people make practical safety plans when needed.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Payment varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches are used for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's own goals back to them. Online sessions using this approach begin with the person describing what matters most and then shape the work around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and tests small changes that can reduce anger or anxiety. In online meetings CBT tools might include reviewing recent scenes, trying new responses, and tracking what changes between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for exceptions and strengths that already help someone cope. Online work with this method tends to be brief and goal-directed, highlighting small steps the person can take right away.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals, preferences, and what proves useful in early sessions. That choice can change as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into everyday life. Many people find it easier to schedule short check-ins around work or family commitments. Some formats are better for quicker, audio-only check-ins while others let people use video for role-play or in-session practice; confirm the exact session options before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit into a routine so changes can be tried between meetings.
