Nancy Martinez, LMFT

Nancy Martinez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, with five years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family difficulties, low self-esteem, and depression. Nancy speaks English and Spanish and lists blended family issues among her focus areas.

She uses straightforward conversation to clarify what is most pressing. Sessions often start by naming a few small, practical steps to try between meetings. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, then uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.

Nancy has worked with people who mention abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, and the stress of merging households. She also supports clients coping with autism or intellectual disability, impulse control challenges, and the effects of prejudice or multicultural stressors. She notes experience with self-harm and domestic violence issues and will address safety and coping when those topics arise.

Her approach is plain and direct. She prefers phone sessions and finds they are easier to schedule than video. She also offers live chat for short or last-minute check-ins when that fits a person's needs.

Scheduling follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking an initial session. Nancy asks people to message if available slots do not match their schedules so alternative times can be explored.
