About Nancy
Dr. Nancy Kizielewicz is a licensed mental health counselor with 40 years of professional experience in New York. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions.
Her tone is steady and practical, and she aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through their thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear communication and realistic goals. She encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels tangible. Her work also covers concerns like control issues, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.
She supports people coping with guilt, shame, isolation, questions of life purpose, and issues related to gender identity. First responder issues and forgiveness are included among her focus areas. Across sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s situation.
The approach is collaborative - she listens first, then helps plan practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Expect straightforward guidance and steady support. People who want clear direction and a calm, experienced clinician often find her approach helpful.
She works with clients in English and accepts international clients through online formats. Prospective clients in New York may choose from several remote session options.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Dr. Kizielewicz uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic, such as breath regulation, exposure to feared situations in small steps, and techniques to reduce catastrophic thinking. Another approach addresses symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process upsetting memories at a pace they can tolerate and by teaching grounding and stabilization skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps match techniques to a person’s needs, preferences, and daily life demands.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls can approximate an in-person conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging lets clients write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
