As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am an approachable, non-judgmental therapist who understands that seeking support takes real courage. For over two decades, I’ve walked alongside clients navigating trauma, chronic anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. If you’re feeling stuck, rushed, or tired of battling the same emotional patterns, I want you to know: you don’t have to face this alone.
My approach combines deep clinical insight with actionable Life Coaching strategies to help you address emotional wounds and build a stronger foundation for the future. I draw on Trauma-Informed Care and evidence-based modalities like Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCT) to give you practical tools for emotional regulation, skill-building, and lasting personal growth.
What sets my work apart is my philosophy: I reject assembly-line care. Clients don’t need to be rushed, dismissed, or handed a one-size-fits-all plan—they deserve a real partnership. I practice an authentic, thoughtful kind of care that focuses relentlessly on your real-world success.
I also bring a whole-person lens to my work, grounded in balance and resilience. My love of nature and gardening inspires the way I help clients cultivate growth, patience, and renewal in their own lives.
If you’re looking for a space where you feel truly heard, supported, and empowered, I would be honored to partner with you. I work virtually with ages 11+ on core challenges including trauma recovery, stress relief, self-esteem, family conflict, and major life transitions.
Nelsy is very warm and understanding, while still maintaining a professional relationship. I can talk to her about any topic without any feelings of judgment or discomfort. I feel like my therapy sessions with her have really helped me grow as a person!
Thanks to the sessions with Nelsy, my mother has shown significant improvement in her depression. She has regained her spirit, interest in daily life, and the motivation to enjoy everyday activities like cooking, getting dressed with enthusiasm, and even planning trips. We are deeply grateful for Nelsy’s support, empathy, and dedication.
In this, my first session with Nelsy, I felt comfortable right away. She was prepared with info I had shared when setting up my agreement, and explained how she works in therapy. I liked her directness and feedback to what I shared. I am happy to have found her and believe I can change my not true thought patterns with her guidance.
Nelsey was very sweet!! she made me laugh a few times, she was very welcoming, has a warm smile, very good listener, etc. im looking forward to seeing her again :)))
I don’t know where I would be without Nelsy Villalobos. She has been the best therapist I’ve ever had! I look forward to our weekly chats and I always feel so grounded after talking to her. Nelsy has really been an angel in my life and I’m so thankful.
She is extremely nice, professional, caring. Thank you.

I blend deep clinical insight with strategic, actionable Life Coaching to equip you with powerful tools for real-world success. My core therapeutic lens integrates Trauma-Informed Care with:
My approach is structured yet flexible, and my greatest strength is creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to build resilience and gain clarity.
Our initial session will be a collaborative opportunity to build the foundation for our work together. We will focus on gathering information about your history, current concerns, and identifying your goals for therapy. My aim is simple: to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered from the very beginning.
My approach to therapy is fueled by intellectual curiosity and a commitment to providing the most effective, current care possible. As an academic at heart, I am passionate about research, constantly seeking new knowledge and perspectives in the field. This dedication to continuous learning ensures that the strategies we use together are always cutting-edge, insightful, and perfectly tailored to your unique challenges. My two decades of experience aren't just built on time, but on an active, deep respect for every client's unique story and journey toward lasting change.
My commitment to whole-person wellness is deeply inspired by my life outside the virtual office. I am a true nature lover and avid traveler who finds peace and inspiration in the outdoors—whether exploring new cities or finding quiet corners to recharge. I often spend time gardening and nurturing plants, and I'm a lifelong animal lover. This focus on balance—cultivating growth, patience, and renewal in my own life—is the holistic lens I bring to every session. I believe healing involves addressing both mental and physical wellness, and my goal is to help you find that same grounded equilibrium.
