Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can try between meetings. Her work includes strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to help reframe thoughts and habits. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when strong emotions feel overwhelming, and mindfulness practices to steady attention and reduce reactivity.

Nancy favors a client-centered stance. That means she listens first, then tailors tools to match what the person wants to change. She encourages small, manageable experiments rather than large, abrupt shifts.

People often seek her help for parenting stress, burnout, ADHD challenges, attachment concerns, and coping with major life changes. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English from her New York practice. Her credential is Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC.

Nancy works collaboratively to set goals and track progress so people can notice what’s helping and adjust the plan as needed.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. In online sessions this helps people notice patterns in close relationships and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it teaches clear steps and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and can be used to tackle anxiety, depression, or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be practiced in short exercises between sessions.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. The first few sessions often focus on identifying priorities and testing small strategies to see what works.

Online therapy with Nancy uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when that helps. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins and practicing skills in the moment. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
