About Nanette
Nanette Tangkeko is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. Nanette also supports people coping with compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, and life changes.
Her approach blends practical, evidence-based methods with attention to early life patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how family of origin and attachment shape current relationships. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past hurts affect daily functioning.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, doable steps. Clients often work on setting boundaries, improving communication, and recognizing self-critical thinking. For people who have difficulty saying no or who feel consumed by others’ needs, she offers concrete strategies to re-establish personal limits and self-respect.
Nanette brings nine years of work with people from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating neurodiversity and caregiving stress. She also addresses issues tied to multicultural identity and life purpose. Therapy is conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Practical matters like scheduling and fees vary by location. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Nanette uses evidence-based methods online
Nanette often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions usually include specific exercises, thought records, and homework to practice new skills between meetings.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice stress responses and regulate their attention. Mindfulness exercises teach simple practices for calming the nervous system and handling strong emotions in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and adapt methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as needs change.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled around work breaks, audio sessions can reduce bandwidth needs, and remote meetings avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency with therapy while working toward clearer boundaries and better self-care practices.
