How sessions work
Approaches used online and what they do
Nancy commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals, helping them set the pace and topics for sessions. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness introduces simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Talking with a therapist by video or phone can let sessions happen during a lunch break, between errands, or from a calmer spot in the home, which helps maintain continuity of care while working on relationships, parenting stress, or mood concerns.
