Background and approach
Nancy uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients set the pace of work. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck and offers concrete skills to shift them. Phone sessions are often easier to schedule and are a common option.
Live chat can work for short, last-minute check-ins, while video calls are available when a visual connection is helpful. Messaging is another way to keep momentum between meetings. Nancy aims to be flexible about scheduling and asks clients to message if the posted times don’t fit.
She focuses on listening with sensitivity and on helping people find clear, manageable ways forward.
How client-centered and CBT work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. In this approach the therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can name feelings and decide what matters most to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood. Sessions include practical techniques and small experiments to try between meetings that reduce worry and boost confidence.
Nancy treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit those needs. Together they check progress and adjust methods when something isn’t helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are often easier to fit into a busy day, live chat is useful for quick last-minute check-ins, and messaging helps keep momentum between appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people access therapy in ways that match their routine.
