About Nancy

She also helps people manage compassion fatigue and the stress of caregiving. Work can focus on self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, or navigating career and identity questions.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects back concerns, and helps set goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful for relationship worries, self-esteem work, and gaining clarity about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes short exercises to try between sessions and clear steps to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT can be helpful for stress, mood concerns, and behavior change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. People who struggle with strong reactions or frequent conflicts may find the skill-based format especially useful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity during major life changes. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options before booking.
