About Nancy
Nancy Rivera is a licensed social worker with 21 years of clinical experience. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and works from New York. She speaks English and Spanish and welcomes international clients.
She focuses on common, stressful issues like anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. She also helps people coping with trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and challenges tied to parenting and family conflict. Practical problems such as sleep trouble, workplace stress, and caregiving strain are part of her work too.
How Nancy works
Nancy adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate in sessions. The approach is collaborative - the client’s goals shape what happens next.
Clients can expect help sorting priorities, building coping strategies, and making manageable changes over time. Nancy also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorders, chronic illness, immigration-related stress, and multicultural concerns. Her background includes two decades of direct practice across a range of settings.
That experience informs a flexible style that blends coaching with therapy when appropriate. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.
Confirm current session options before booking to ensure the format fits your needs.

How Nancy Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building new skills. One common approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic - it teaches breathing, grounding, and step-by-step ways to face feared situations. Another approach centers on processing grief and trauma by creating a safe, steady pace for talking about painful events and learning ways to manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nancy will review your goals, concerns, and preferences and then suggest techniques that fit. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around parenting, work, or medical care. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered and which will best suit your routine and technical setup.
