About Nancy
Nancy Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She offers practical support for grief, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, and mood-related concerns like bipolar disorder. Nancy brings a steady, empathetic presence to sessions and respects each person's life story.
Nancy uses straightforward, collaborative conversation to help people find clearer ways to respond to hard moments.
Background and approach
She draws on Client-Centered methods to focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Her training includes a master’s degree in Social Work with a clinical emphasis and bilingual/bicultural studies.
Nancy has five years of direct clinical experience in therapy and a longer history in mental health roles that shaped her practical skills. She aims to offer culturally aware care and mentions that she can integrate Christian and Biblical ideas when clients request that framework. Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple tools you can use between meetings.
Nancy often works on building coping strategies, improving self-esteem, and reducing patterns that feed anger or addiction. She supports people who are also managing chronic pain, illness, or the effects of domestic violence. She sees adults aged 18 and up.
Sessions may include talk, skill practice, and short assignments to try new ways of handling stress and strong emotions.

Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist leans on the person's own goals and helps them find their next steps, which can be helpful for anger, grief, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that lead to substance use. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and regulating mood. DBT skills are often useful for people who want concrete tools to reduce impulsive reactions and handle strong feelings.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest options that fit. Together you can try approaches or blend elements to find what helps most for your situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
