Nanette pays attention to issues connected to family of origin and attachment, and she supports clients working through communication problems and codependency.

Nanonette uses a mix of methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques teach ways to calm the body and focus attention in the moment. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns, and trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to cause distress.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Clients can expect to talk through what feels stuck, try strategies between sessions, and review what works. Nanette works in English and accepts international clients, and she practices from California as an LMFT.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Nanette commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and calming practices that can reduce reactivity and improve focus.She also brings psychodynamic ideas into sessions to help people see how early family relationships shape current patterns. That perspective can be useful when exploring family of origin issues and recurring relationship dynamics. Choosing which approaches to use happens together; the therapist and client decide what fits the client’s goals and preferences as they go.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break or meetings without needing travel time. It can also allow sessions when video isn’t ideal, for example using audio-only for lower bandwidth or to avoid being on camera. The focus is on practical ways to make regular contact and apply therapeutic tools in day-to-day life.
