She brings 19 years of experience in counseling and community work to each session. Nancy holds an IL LCPC credential and uses practical strategies to help clients take manageable steps forward.
She favors straightforward, goal-focused conversations. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and short between-session activities to build momentum.
Background and approach
Nancy listens closely and helps people notice small changes that add up over time. Nancy's background includes individual counseling, group work, and running specific counseling programs. She has volunteered with shelter and community programs, worked in prison ministry, and supported local food pantry efforts.
That mix of settings shaped her flexible, down-to-earth approach. Her methods draw from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, the Gottman Method for relationship concerns, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used to address issues like panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, communication problems, codependency, and life transitions.
In sessions she helps people set realistic milestones and practice skills between meetings. She also has experience supervising other counselors and mentoring interns. The focus is on making steady, practical progress through clear next steps and collaborative planning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to name needs and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change emotional responses in relationships and personal life to improve connection and reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques and focus are made collaboratively so clients shape their own path forward.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief updates, coping tools between sessions, or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
