About Nancy
Nancy Cortez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and grief. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, motivation, addictions, relationship strain, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Nancy speaks English and Spanish and uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions.
Nancy centers conversations on each person's strengths and experience. She treats the client as the expert in their own life and works alongside them to find what helps.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to feel practical and focused rather than long on theory. Her day-to-day approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and notice small changes that matter.
These methods are used together to fit each person's situation. With five years of professional experience, Nancy has worked with a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, multicultural issues, and self-harm thoughts. She keeps sessions clear and goal-oriented while allowing time to process hard feelings.
People who choose Nancy can expect practical tools, options for emotional processing, and help setting realistic next steps. She invites anyone ready to take a step toward change to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client so they feel heard and understood; online sessions use that same approach to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical changes that reduce distress; it is useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, concrete steps and measurable goals to create momentum and quick improvements.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean focusing on skill-building one week and working on emotional processing the next. Sessions are adjusted as progress and preferences emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping the same licensed professional relationship across formats.
