About Nancy
Nancy Hazelton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She works in California and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
In sessions she listens first and adapts the conversation to each person. Nancy believes each situation is unique, so she builds plans that match individual needs and goals. That might mean working on daily coping skills, sorting out overwhelming emotions, or finding clearer priorities during a life shift.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit different problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques support learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Client-centered work keeps the focus on the person’s experience and choices.
Nancy also brings psychodynamic ideas about how past patterns affect current life, and motivational interviewing to help when people feel stuck or uncertain about change. She blends these methods to make therapy practical and relatable. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when needed, and exploratory when understanding deeper patterns is helpful.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she recognizes that. Nancy encourages people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and schedules according to availability.
