About Nancy
Nancy Purohit is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with ten years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach
Nancy pays attention to how culture and identity shape each persons challenges. Nancy uses a mix of approaches depending on what the person needs in the room. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take small steps, and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also uses Client-Centered methods to create a respectful, listening space. The work with Nancy is collaborative. She helps clients set concrete goals and break them into manageable tasks.
Sessions include skill building for emotion regulation, problem solving for daily routines, and coaching around career, life purpose, and self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and warm. Nancy encourages honest conversation about guilt, shame, forgiveness, and self-love, and she offers practical tools people can use between appointments.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes when someone wants concrete direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with impulsivity.Nancy will collaborate with each person to find the best approach. She listens to goals and preferences, then suggests techniques from ACT, CBT, or client-centered work that fit the situation. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made or new needs show up.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, or living in different parts of South Carolina.
