How Nancy's approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist emphasizes understanding each person's story and building on strengths, which helps with grief, trauma, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches simple skills for noticing unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes to improve mood and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nancy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins during challenging periods. Some formats may also suit shorter updates or times when camera use is difficult, while others allow longer, deeper conversations. Ask about available session options when scheduling so arrangements match practical needs and personal comfort.
