About Nancy
Nancy Lopez is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps adults feeling stuck or disconnected. She works with people who worry a lot, struggle in relationships, or sense something is missing despite outward success.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and collaborative, and she invites clients to slow down and take stock of what they carry. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression.
Nancy also pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and family of origin patterns. These quieter threads often shape how people relate to themselves and others.
Sessions emphasize noticing recurring patterns and the beliefs that keep them going. She guides people to understand how past experiences influence current behavior and feelings.
This helps clients make clearer choices about who they want to be and how they want to connect with others. Nancy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a reflective, down-to-earth way.
Work in therapy often includes talking through difficult memories, trying new ways of relating, and practicing small changes between sessions. The aim is clearer self-awareness rather than quick fixes.
She provides services in California and speaks English and Spanish. Nancy has four years of clinical experience and holds the CA LMFT credential.
To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match with her and schedule sessions that fit their availability.
Evidence-based approaches in online care
Nancy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people notice patterns and make manageable changes. One common approach focuses on understanding attachment and relationship patterns by looking at past experiences and how they affect present behavior; this helps when recurring conflicts or feelings of disconnection keep showing up. Another approach emphasizes stress and anxiety management through practical coping skills and step-by-step exposure to feared situations, which reduces avoidance and builds confidence.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust over time. Together you decide what methods feel most helpful based on how you respond in sessions and between meetings.
Online therapy with Nancy can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and can feel most like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions are useful when video isn’t practical or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, on-the-go reflection, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
