Background and approach
Over two decades in practice have shaped how she guides people through major changes like divorce and separation. She also helps those struggling with body image and the emotional fallout that follows big life transitions. Sessions focus on coping tools, clearer thinking, and steady routines that reduce overwhelm.
Nancy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach skills for managing panic episodes and persistent worry. She helps clients build habits that lower daily stress and improve relationships with others. Progress is often measured by increased calm and better problem solving in everyday situations.

Online approaches that help with anxiety and transitions
Evidence-based cognitive and behavioral techniques focus on changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors in everyday life. These methods teach practical skills for managing worry, reducing avoidance, and calming the body during panic episodes. They are often used for anxiety, panic disorder, and persistent stress.Brief skills-based work teaches concrete coping tools such as breathing and grounding exercises, thought records, and activity planning. This kind of work helps people regain control during high-anxiety moments and build routines that lower baseline stress over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and pace. She adjusts methods as needed and helps people try tools between sessions to see what fits best.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different preferences. Video works well for conversation and seeing reactions, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be easier for short check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work while managing life transitions.
