Background and approach
Cognitive approaches are used when patterns of thinking get in the way, and emotionally-focused ideas help when relationships and attachment feel central to the problem. Nancy tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She can help people cope with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, divorce and separation, and the emotional effects of cancer.
She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, isolation, and issues related to prejudice and veteran concerns. Her work includes support for those dealing with traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to how life circumstances affect motivation, confidence, and daily functioning.
The focus is on practical strategies people can use between sessions. Nancy values sensitivity and respect in every session. She encourages honest talk about setbacks and progress.
Her approach aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
How these approaches are used in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist reflects concerns, names emotions, and helps clients set their own goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and decide what matters next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and turn it into practical steps. It often includes short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and behaving, which can ease anxiety, low mood, and self-doubt.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, looks at how emotions shape relationships and personal reactions. It helps people understand attachment patterns and create more supported emotional responses, which can be useful for healing loss and repairing connections.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the plan as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are close to in-person meetings and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexibility for busy days. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or medical schedules.
