About Nancy
Nancy Huus is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience practicing in Montana. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work tends to be direct and practical, aimed at helping each person find clearer footing and better daily coping.
Nancy draws on a mix of evidence-informed approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take meaningful action even when emotions are hard. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered skills guide how she listens and responds in sessions. Sessions are conversational and paced to fit what a person needs that day.
Nancy aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can talk through painful memories, practice new ways of relating to themselves, and try out small behavior changes. She balances practical tools with attention to deeper emotional themes. Her background includes long-term work with trauma, grief, and life transitions.
That experience informs how she supports people who are coping with abandonment, family-of-origin issues, caregiver stress, addiction concerns, and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues tied to aging and adoption and foster care histories. Nancy helps people move from feeling stuck toward doable next steps.
She partners with each person to set short-term goals and build skills they can use between sessions. The pace and focus change based on what is most helpful for the individual.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match what matters most. Online sessions can help people practice values-based steps and develop short exercises to use between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying thought patterns and trying different behaviors to change outcomes. In remote work CBT tools often include tracking thoughts, trying homework exercises, and reviewing results together over video or messaging.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might help most. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays practical and aligned with what you want to change.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy or geographically distant people. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone share thoughts between meetings or use brief check-ins during a hectic day. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life while working on anxiety, grief, trauma recovery, and building coping skills.
