About Nancy
Nancy Gnecco is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Maine with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and those coping with trauma, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, and life changes. Nancy aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and figure out next steps.
Her work focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She listens first and helps people name what is happening for them.
Background and approach
From there she and the client set small, manageable goals and try approaches that match the person's needs and comfort level. Nancy can include a mix of traditional talk therapy and, when requested, non-traditional methods such as Energy Psychology techniques like Emotional Freedom Techniques. She explains options and tries different ways to help a person feel more steady and in control.
Over three decades she has supported people through relationship strain, grief and separation, chronic illness and pain, body-image and eating concerns, codependency, and other stressors. She also has experience with issues that arise for first responders and with coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Nancy works in English and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Starting therapy usually begins by answering a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions that fit each person's life.
How Nancy Adapts Therapy Techniques for Online Work
Nancy often uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help with anxiety and trauma. One common approach focuses on grounding and coping skills - teaching breath work, pacing, and simple behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm and manage panic symptoms. These techniques are useful for people who need tools they can use between sessions.She may also work with emotional processing tools that help people name and move through painful memories or feelings. This can include gentle, step-by-step exercises to reduce the hold of traumatic events and restore a sense of safety in daily life. When requested, she can include Energy Psychology methods such as Emotional Freedom Techniques as an additional option.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nancy will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust as needed so the plan matches real-life needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video works well when seeing facial cues matters, phone calls need less bandwidth, chat or text can be helpful for quick check-ins, and all formats allow more flexibility with scheduling and location.
