Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and practical, with attention to emotional safety and building skills that help day-to-day functioning. <brHer practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are combined when helpful to increase awareness and build motivation for change. Nancy has long experience working with adoption, foster care and early trauma, and she applies that background to related issues such as attachment, abandonment, and caregiver stress. She also helps people facing family of origin concerns, blended family questions, and career or life-purpose crossroads.
People who prefer a collaborative, steady presence may find her style comfortable. She aims to help people regain a sense of direction, reduce overwhelming symptoms, and strengthen connections with themselves and others.
Approach and options for online therapy
Nancy uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach helps when relational wounds, abandonment, or attachment issues affect trust and emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress by giving clear practical tools.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nancy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on attachment themes, skill-building with CBT, or incorporate mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflection, or when scheduling needs more flexibility. These options help people keep continuity of care across busy days and different locations.
