About Nanette
Nanette Tangkeko is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with nine years of practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and shifts in self-worth. She combines evidence-informed methods with compassionate listening to help clients gain clarity, build coping skills, and reconnect with what matters.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses relationship dynamics, caregiver strain, communication challenges, and the process of recovering confidence after difficult relational experiences. In sessions she emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where clients can name difficult feelings and experiment with new perspectives and behaviors.
Nanette integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practices and psychodynamic insights to tailor support to each person’s needs. She also attends to multicultural concerns, attachment patterns, and life-purpose questions, drawing on clinical experience with intellectual disability and autism spectrum considerations when relevant.
Clients who seek practical tools for anxiety, guidance through grief, or help reshaping self-esteem will find a collaborative partner in her. Nanette frames therapy as a joint process of exploration and skill-building, aiming to empower people to make sustainable changes and find greater ease in daily life.
Practical approaches for online healing and growth
Nanette often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness, which supports stress reduction and greater emotional regulation by teaching simple attention and breathing practices.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; she collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That collaborative exploration allows adjustments over time so interventions match what the person most needs in a given phase of work.
The online format supports flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging so clients can choose what feels most workable for them. These options make it easier to attend regularly, integrate skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care despite busy schedules or geographic distance.
