Nanette Tangkeko

Nanette Tangkeko is a California licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT - with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and rebuild self-esteem after relationship harm. Her work also addresses life purpose questions and the practical strain of caregiving.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that get in the way. Nanette draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness-based techniques to build attention and reduce reactivity.

Her background includes work with attachment issues, codependency, and family of origin concerns. Nanette has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and those with intellectual disability, and she brings attention to multicultural factors in clients' lives.

Sessions often focus on practical steps - small experiments, communication skills, and routines that reduce overwhelm. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current choices. Trauma-focused methods are used when past hurt continues to affect daily functioning.

Nanette accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to get started. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches translate to online work

Nanette often uses cognitive behavioral techniques online to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT sessions typically include clear goals, simple behavioral experiments, and homework to try between meetings; this can help with anxiety, low motivation, and day-to-day coping.

She also brings mindfulness-based practices into sessions to build attention and calm reactivity. Mindfulness work involves short guided exercises and skills for noticing feelings without acting on them, which can support stress reduction and improved focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT, mindfulness, or psychodynamic ideas over time as priorities shift.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week and allow for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when needed. They can also reduce travel time and let people use approaches like guided mindfulness or homework exercises between sessions.
