About Nancy
Nancy Willis, LMSW, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family tension, and low self-esteem. She offers calm, practical guidance for people facing life changes, parenting and caregiver stress, and issues like guilt, shame, or isolation. Her manner is steady and approachable, focused on listening first and responding without judgment.
With eight years of clinical experience, Nancy draws on several familiar therapy approaches to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered methods to build a trusting conversation and cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are used to teach simple ways to manage worry and strong emotions in the moment. Nancy also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe personal stories that limit them.
She brings a psychodynamic perspective when it helps to uncover repeating patterns from the past that still affect present choices. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort. People can expect straightforward language in sessions and practical tools to try between meetings.
Nancy supports clients who are dealing with pregnancy and childbirth concerns, finding life purpose, and building self-love. She also addresses control issues and the particular stresses caregivers face. Based in Michigan, Nancy offers therapy in English and works with international clients.
She aims to help people take manageable steps toward clearer thinking, steadier moods, and healthier relationships.
Approaches for anxiety and life transitions online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and build trust so they can explore difficult feelings about anxiety, relationships, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, useful for managing worry and improving mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily challenges together and then try methods that fit the person. Sessions can be adjusted over time based on what helps most, so the plan can shift as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for quieter audio-only check-ins, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities and keep progress moving even when life is busy.
