About Nancy
Nancy Neukomm is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, and codependency. She writes plainly and listens closely, guiding clients toward small, manageable steps to feel better. Nancy brings a steady, encouraging presence to sessions.
She emphasizes practical tools and short-term goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods are part of her approach, and she also uses client-centered listening and emotionally-focused strategies when relationships are involved. Mindfulness practices and stress management exercises are introduced between sessions to build new habits.
Nancy has nearly two decades of experience working in a range of settings. Her background includes individual counseling, group work, program coordination, and teaching in community programs such as shelters and a prison ministry. She has supervised other counselors and currently supervises an intern from Walden University while maintaining a private practice.
In sessions she keeps language simple and action-oriented. Clients can expect a mix of talking, problem solving, and practical homework like short mindfulness exercises or communication practice. Nancy focuses on real-world changes, such as managing panic attacks, improving communication, or coping with life transitions.
Her style is respectful and collaborative. She helps clients set achievable milestones and checks progress along the way. People who want steady support and clear tools for dealing with stress, mood shifts, relationship problems, or codependency may find her approach useful.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps people clarify feelings, and supports them in finding their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and panic. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions in relationship situations and can be useful when the goal is to improve connection and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit the person. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is checked.
The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter, shorter check-in when needed. It also supports continuing regular work on skills such as mindfulness exercises, communication practice, and CBT homework between meetings.
