Nanette Tangkeko

Nanette Tangkeko is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings nine years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief, and rebuild confidence after difficult relationships.

She creates a calm, open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Nanette emphasizes practical steps and steady support, helping people find small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Her background includes work with issues like compassion fatigue, relationship strain, and life transitions. She also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, and challenges related to autism and intellectual disability when they affect daily life and relationships.

Nanette uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on mindfulness techniques to help people stay present, cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat over time.

People looking for help with self-worth, caregiver stress, or finding direction in young adulthood may find her practical, steady style useful. She encourages clients to take gradual steps toward goals and supports them through setbacks and progress alike.

How mindfulness and therapy work in online sessions

Mindfulness Therapy uses guided attention to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed. It can be useful for reducing rumination, easing anxiety, and grounding someone during moments of strong emotion.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps people change patterns that keep stress and low mood in place, and it often includes practical exercises to do between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about current concerns, goals, and preferences, and then suggest techniques to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work fits the client’s needs.

This profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut commuting time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Different formats can also let someone choose quieter activities or lower-bandwidth options depending on what works best for them.
