Background and approach
Sessions aim to make things feel more manageable rather than relying on jargon or long lectures. Her background includes work in home-based care, outpatient mental health clinics, crisis units, and correctional facilities. That range of settings shaped her skills in handling stressful situations and sudden changes.

She talks through practical strategies, like changing unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills, and improving communication. Clients can expect a collaborative approach. Nancy partners with people to set goals and choose the methods that fit their life.
Outside of work she enjoys meditation, reading, cooking, journaling, travel, and gardening, and she values simple routines that support well-being.
How Nancy’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills between sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can help people handle intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve communication in strained relationships.
Nancy approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is revisited as work progresses so techniques match what is actually helping.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a faster check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates or have brief emotional support between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and can fit therapy into busy lives.
