About Nancy
Nancy Bevins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, codependency, and related concerns. She works with adults who are coping with mood issues, relationship and intimacy questions, grief, parenting strain, body image, and life changes. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Nancy treats clients as partners in finding practical steps forward.
Nancy uses clear, common-sense methods in sessions. She focuses on listening first, then helping people try small changes that fit their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot patterns and test new ways of thinking. Client-Centered principles guide the tone of sessions so people feel heard and respected.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Motivational Interviewing when people need help finding reasons to change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set achievable short-term goals and track progress. Sessions aim to produce usable skills rather than abstract talk.
Nancy earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Education from Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky. She is listed as holding LPC credentials in West Virginia and Virginia. She is currently finishing a doctorate in psychology at Capella University.
With ten years of counseling experience, Nancy emphasizes honesty, practicality, and steady progress. She encourages people to bring specific problems and questions to the first meeting so early work can begin. The focus is on clear next steps and real-life results.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Nancy uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core approaches in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's concerns so sessions feel respectful and collaborative. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and daily functioning.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT offers concrete techniques for handling strong feelings and managing impulses, which can help with anxiety, mood swings, and compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as work proceeds.
