About Nancy
Nancy Schulz helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and building self-love.
Background and approach
Nancy writes plainly and meets people where they are to start practical work on what matters most to them. Nancy is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in California with 18 years of professional experience.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions aim to build on those strengths while addressing the obstacles holding someone back.
Her approach centers on supporting and empowering people as they try new skills and perspectives. Nancy talks through concrete steps and coping practices rather than staying stuck in abstract ideas.
She emphasizes steady progress and realistic goals that fit a person's life. People can expect a warm, direct style that balances practical tools with listening.
Nancy helps clients identify patterns, practice different responses, and build confidence over time. The goal is to make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.
Parents and busy adults often appreciate brief, focused plans that fit into their schedules. Nancy encourages openness about what has or hasn’t worked before and adjusts the work to match each person’s pace and priorities.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
The therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical changes. One approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior-tested strategies to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns by identifying interaction habits and practicing alternative responses to build clearer connection and reduce conflict.Nancy works collaboratively to find the right fit. She will discuss different approaches, explain how they might help with your goals, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. Finding an approach is a team effort that evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you meet face-to-face when that matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, ongoing check-ins, and written reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on stress, relationships, and mood into everyday life.
