Nancy Esparza

My name is Nancy Esparza, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California and currently working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with Adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused therapy to help my clients make progress toward their goals.

My approach

My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-focused brief therapy to address challenges that clients are facing.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions such as college, marriage, parenting, career, etc. Such stressors can lead to overwhelming feelings such as anxiety and depression. I work to help my clients navigate these challenging periods and to build skills to allow them to apply when life becomes too overwhelming.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and empathetic. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything without feeling judged.

My journey to mental healthcare

I knew from early on in my education that I wanted to enter a healing/helping profession which ultimately led me to therapy. I enjoy working with clients with different challenges and witnessing the growth through our time together and them ultimately meeting their goals.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what outcome you want in our time together.

My first session with you

In our first session together, we will talk about current feelings and challenges. I will ask clarifying questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about building trust and relationships.
