About Nancy
Nancy Ramirez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to meet bilingual needs in Illinois.
She draws on four years of clinical experience and a background in medical social work. That background gives her an understanding of how healthcare hassles and life stress pile up.
How Nancy works
Her approach is warm but direct, aimed at both talking through problems and building simple coping strategies. Nancy uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people change unhelpful thoughts and find motivation for small goals. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, doable steps and Internal Family Systems ideas when it helps to understand inner conflicts.
Sessions mix practical skill-building with chances to make sense of what’s happening. People who come to her often want concrete tools for daily life. She helps with communication problems, coping with life changes, exploring life purpose, and recovering a sense of self-love after hard experiences.
Domestic violence is listed among additional focus areas, and she approaches this work with care and attention to safety. Therapy sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To start, a short matching questionnaire helps connect someone to therapy and schedule sessions that fit their life.

Online support options
Approaches you can try in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them into more useful thinking. It often includes practical exercises to reduce anxiety and manage stress symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change and commit to small steps toward goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try specific techniques together. That collaborative process helps shape which methods are used and how sessions are structured over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between appointments.
