Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with clear steps to try between meetings. Nancy uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to address difficult emotions and patterns.
Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship and abandonment issues. Client-centered work keeps conversations grounded in each person’s values and strengths.
Together these methods help with emotion regulation, communication, and stronger coping strategies. Her background includes both inpatient and outpatient settings, which shaped her ability to work with people in crisis and in calmer phases of life. Nancy aims to make therapy practical and usable day to day.
She meets people where they are and helps them take the next step toward feeling more in control.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people understand patterns of closeness, abandonment fears, or communication problems and find different ways to connect in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with practical skills to reduce anger, anxiety, and mood swings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. It offers concrete tools for crisis moments and ongoing stress, such as distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
Nancy will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. She involves clients in setting goals and tries methods that fit their needs, preferences, and daily life. Adjustments are part of the process until a good fit is found.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief support, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.
