About Nancy

Nancy Martinez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, and mood concerns. She supports those coping with major life changes, anger, low self-esteem, and long-term health challenges. Nancy also addresses issues like domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and process addictions.

Nancy uses straightforward, person-focused care. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals and try practical skills.

Background and approach

Sessions can include talking, learning coping tools, and adjusting habits that get in the way of daily life. Her background includes a master’s degree in social work with an emphasis on clinical practice and bilingual/bicultural studies. She spent time doing thesis work with communities in Mexico and has a long history in the mental health field beyond direct clinical therapy.

That broader experience shaped how she thinks about culture and context in care. Nancy blends multiple approaches to fit each person. She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions collaborative, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavior patterns, and brings dialectical skills when people need emotion regulation tools.

She can also incorporate existential or Jungian ideas when exploring meaning and identity. People often come for help with practical steps - feeling safer in relationships, reducing panic, managing mood swings, or finding ways to cope with chronic illness. Nancy offers therapy with empathy and without judgment.

She works with adults aged 18 and older and can include faith-based perspectives if requested.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps people feel heard and guides them to find their own solutions to everyday problems and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to manage intense feelings. It is useful when someone struggles with mood instability or strong reactions to stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are emphasized over time. Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see and hear the therapist for conversations similar to in-person visits. Phone sessions can be useful when internet bandwidth is limited or when a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, journaling-style communication, or support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into busy days or reduced travel situations.
