Nancy Martinez, LCSW

Nancy Martinez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and addiction. She brings five years of clinical therapy experience and a longer history in the mental health field to each session. Nancy aims to create a straightforward space where clients can speak openly and begin practical change.

She trained for a Master of Social Work with a clinical emphasis and studies in Bilingual/Bicultural work, and she completed a thesis involving communities in Mexico. Nancy draws on that background to offer culturally aware care and to honor different life stories and values.

Nancy uses a mix of familiar approaches that focus on thoughts, feelings, and relationships. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. She also brings existential and Jungian ideas into conversation when clients want to examine meaning, identity, and patterns that repeat over time.

Nancy works with adults aged 18 and older. She can offer therapy within a Christian and Biblical context when that is requested. Sessions are conducted in English and take place in New Mexico. The goal is practical support, clearer thinking, and steady steps toward feeling better.
