About Nanette
Nanette Tangkeko is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nine years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and rebuild confidence after difficult relationships. She also focuses on life purpose, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to family and caregiving.
In sessions she keeps language direct and practical. She listens for patterns that contribute to repeated problems. Then she introduces tools to shift thinking and behavior, and to calm intense emotions. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to offer concrete ways to respond differently to stress.
Nanette also addresses deeper influences from early attachments and family of origin. She uses psychodynamic ideas to help people notice long-standing patterns and how these affect current relationships. For people coping with trauma, she incorporates trauma-focused approaches to reduce overwhelming reactions and build steadier coping skills.
Her work includes attention to multicultural concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability, codependency, communication problems, and young adult issues. She supports caregivers and those feeling worn down by chronic stress. Sessions aim to clarify what matters next and to create manageable steps toward those priorities.
People who want straightforward, skills-based support alongside exploration of deeper life patterns may find this approach helpful. The therapist accepts English-speaking clients and works with people from different regions, including internationally.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Nanette commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, often using short exercises to change how people respond to stress and worry. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and help people notice their experience without being swept away.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to trace patterns that began in earlier relationships and still show up today. In collaboration with each person she assesses which combination of approaches fits their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as those goals change. Deciding on an approach is a shared process rather than a fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules. Remote meetings can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, or meet during a break in the day. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach CBT skills, guide mindfulness practice, and discuss patterns uncovered by psychodynamic thinking without requiring in-person visits.
