About Nancy
Nancy Ramirez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults handle stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps parents can use when life feels overwhelming. She draws on experience in medical social work, so she understands how health concerns and complex systems add pressure.
Sessions aim to be warm and direct. Conversations focus on what is most pressing and on clear actions to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Nancy uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused planning to break problems into manageable parts. She also incorporates motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and Internal Family Systems ideas to understand different parts of a person’s inner experience. These methods are offered in everyday language and tied to real-life routines.
In a typical session she listens for patterns that increase stress and works with clients to build coping skills. That might mean practicing new ways to communicate, setting small goals, or creating a step-by-step plan for a life transition. She emphasizes tools that can be used right away.
Her practice suits people who want straightforward guidance and gentle challenge. Nancy aims to help clients gain clarity, improve coping, and find more ease in daily life.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Nancy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, then practice small changes that reduce stress and anxiety. This approach is useful for breaking down worry and building new coping habits.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify simple steps that move a person toward those goals. This method is goal oriented and helps parents try concrete strategies that fit daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. Nancy will ask about your priorities, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what feels helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to your goals and comfort.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let you share updates and get short-term support between appointments. These formats aim to make care more flexible so therapy can fit school runs, work breaks, and busy days.
