About Nancy

Nancy Gnecco is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Maine with 30 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Nancy helps clients navigate life changes and find clearer direction when things feel overwhelming.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create an open setting where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between sessions as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems stuck.

Nancy sometimes uses non-traditional methods when a client requests them. One example she offers is Energy Psychology, including Emotional Freedom Techniques. These approaches are integrated alongside more familiar talk-based work when they match a person’s goals.

Over three decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns connected to relationships, family of origin, body image, chronic illness and pain, and codependency. She also brings experience supporting people dealing with divorce, domestic violence, dissociation, grief and guilt.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Nancy encourages people to take manageable steps toward change and to set goals that fit their life. She invites prospective clients to reflect on what they want from therapy before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Nancy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside some non-traditional options. One approach she offers is talk-based therapy that focuses on identifying patterns, improving coping skills, and setting small practical goals to reduce stress and anxiety. This work helps people who feel stuck by moving from insight to action.

She also integrates Energy Psychology methods, such as Emotional Freedom Techniques, when a client requests them. These techniques involve brief somatic and tapping exercises paired with focused attention and can be helpful for managing intense emotional reactions and shifting unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Nancy will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they decide which techniques to try and how to pace the work.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk-based methods transfer well to remote work, and some people find brief somatic exercises adapt easily to an online visit. Confirm the formats offered and schedule that fit your routine before you begin.
