About Nancy
Nancy Ramirez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, domestic violence, life purpose, and self-love. Nancy offers services in English and Spanish.
Nancy draws on a background in medical social work to help people manage the practical side of life stress. She uses a direct and practical style that mixes talking through what feels hard with building skills to cope. Sessions often include problem-solving and concrete tools to try between meetings.
Nancy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems in ways that fit a person’s needs. That means she might help someone notice thinking patterns, set small goals, uncover internal parts that affect decisions, or try brief solution-focused steps. She explains approaches in plain language and works collaboratively to choose what to use.
People who come to her usually want short-term tools as well as space to make sense of transitions. Nancy pays attention to both the immediate stressors and how those stressors affect daily life. Her sessions balance talking through feelings and practicing new ways to respond.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
When working remotely, she often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and small behaviors. CBT is practical and can be used to target anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem by breaking problems into manageable steps.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support goal setting and motivation. This method focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and can be useful when someone is unsure about next steps after a life change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adjust pacing, use screen-shared worksheets, or set brief between-session tasks to keep progress moving.
