About Nancy

Nancy Brighton is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. She brings more than five decades of professional experience to conversations about coping with life changes, grief, addictions, and self-esteem.

Nancy begins by listening to what matters most to each person and then works alongside them to set practical goals. Nancy believes people know their own story best and that strength already exists inside them.

Background and approach

She offers steady support while helping clients identify patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on usable skills, clearer thinking, and small changes that add up over time. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment strategies with cognitive behavioral tools and attachment-based thinking.

She also draws on client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas when they fit the situation. This mix helps clients manage emotions, reduce unhelpful reactions, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Nancy works with concerns including ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, career challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.

She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, chronic illness, and caregiver strain. Practical matters are part of the work. Nancy helps create plans for change that fit daily life.

She encourages steady progress and checks in on what is working and what needs adjusting along the way.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that matter. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for people trying to manage anger in healthier ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It is often used for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and problem-solving around day-to-day triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits their goals and life. That choice can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.

Online sessions offer flexibility and more ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
