About Nancy

Nancy Hazelton is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes, and she approaches each person with respect and compassion. Nancy centers sessions on what the client brings.

She adapts conversation and goals to each person’s situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. That means practical steps and tools that relate to daily life, not just ideas on a page.

Background and approach

Her work often includes short-term skills to manage anxiety and mood, alongside deeper conversations about life purpose, self-love, and midlife transitions. She also helps people facing caregiver strain, workplace tensions, and communication problems. First responder issues are another area she has supported in practice.

Nancy uses a mix of methods to match the problem at hand. That can include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness to reduce reactivity, motivational interviewing to clarify goals, and psychodynamic ideas to understand long-standing patterns. She describes therapy as a collaborative process.

Clients set priorities, and Nancy helps shape a practical plan to reach them. For many, that means small changes that add up to noticeable relief. To start someone clicks the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps clients clarify goals and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs steady support and a space to sort feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match the client's needs and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused care with CBT skills or adding motivational strategies to support change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, frequent touchpoints to keep progress moving.
