About Nanette
Nanette Tangkeko is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and rebuild confidence after difficult relationships. Her approach is warm and straightforward, inviting honest conversation and practical change.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Sessions focus on concrete goals and small, achievable shifts. Nanette emphasizes building skills that carry into daily life, such as managing worry, improving communication, and setting healthier boundaries.
Narratives from a person’s past and present often guide her work. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thought patterns that keep people stuck. Mindfulness practices are used to help people stay grounded when they feel overwhelmed.
Nanette also draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas to understand deeper patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions. This helps when people want to address attachment issues, family of origin wounds, or recovery from difficult relationships.
She supports people facing caregiver stress, multicultural concerns, and those exploring life purpose or self-love. Sessions are collaborative; she listens first and then helps plan the next practical step. If you want a clear, compassionate guide through change, Nanette offers steady support.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Nanette draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve problem-solving. Mindfulness therapy helps people increase present-moment awareness and calm reactivity, useful for stress, grief, and overwhelm.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques to fit. That might mean combining CBT skill-building with mindfulness exercises or exploring deeper patterns when helpful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between obligations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and options that do not require being on camera for each meeting. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and exercises so therapeutic work fits into day-to-day routines rather than disrupting them.
