About Nancy
Nancy Neukomm is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses clear, practical steps to help clients set small goals and make steady progress. Her approach is warm and respectful, with time for listening and for planning what comes next.
Nancy favors straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered and emotionally focused methods to strengthen communication and emotional connection. The Gottman Method informs her work with people looking to improve relationship skills. Her background includes work in community settings where she provided individual and group counseling.
She has experience working with people in shelter programs and has volunteered with prison ministry and food pantry services. She has led counseling programs and provided supervision to other counselors, including an intern from Walden University. In sessions she encourages short, practical activities between meetings.
That might include breathing and mindfulness exercises, homework to test new thinking, or small communication experiments. She aims to help clients notice progress through doable steps rather than large, abstract goals. Nancy practices in Illinois and holds an IL LCPC credential.
Sessions are offered in English and she supports a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma, parenting strain, ADHD, addictions, panic, social anxiety, chronic illness, and coping with life changes.
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Client-centered therapy focuses on good listening and helping people find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a calm space to clarify feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and handle mood changes.Nancy treats approach selection as a shared process. She will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those needs. If an approach doesn’t feel right, she will adjust the plan so sessions are useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people read expressions and practice conversations in the moment. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier for a short check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or when scheduling flexibility is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while still working on anxiety, relationships, and everyday coping skills.
