Nancy Luong, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nancy!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Sacramento and Elk Grove, California. I provide telehealth services to clients throughout the state. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, and depression, using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

My focus

I focus on working with adults who are navigating life transitions and the pressures that often come with them. These challenges often present as anxiety, depression, or general stress. My goal is to help clients manage these periods of change, build effective coping strategies, and cultivate a stronger sense of self.

My approach

My approach is flexible and tailored to meet your unique needs. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as both help create a shared understanding of your experiences and provide practical tools to support meaningful change.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, supportive, and approachable. I strive to create a space where you feel safe and comfortable sharing openly. I take pride in listening with empathy and without judgment, making sure you feel heard and respected throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I chose to become a therapist because I’ve always felt a deep calling to support others through life’s challenges. Whether working in a hospital setting or simply being a trusted, loyal friend, I’ve consistently been drawn to helping people navigate difficult moments. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about witnessing individuals grow.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative and client-centered. We begin by building a foundation of trust and helping you feel comfortable with the therapy process. From there, we’ll work together to clarify what you’d like to achieve and develop meaningful goals that reflect your needs.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll focus on how you’ve been feeling lately and begin exploring some of the factors that may be contributing to those feelings. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, but more importantly, we’ll start building a connection and establishing a foundation for our work together.
