About Nancy
Nancy Hartman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her background also includes areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and trauma responses.
She describes a person-centered approach that treats the client as the expert in their own story. Nancy uses attachment ideas and personality mapping to help people understand repeating patterns. She also incorporates brain-focused work such as Brainspotting and has experience with Critical Incident Stress Debriefing methods.
Her perspective is informed by Christian faith for clients who wish to include spirituality in sessions. She says she aims to respect individual beliefs while addressing emotional and relational needs. Typical topics include divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and life-purpose questions.
In practical terms she helps people clarify feelings, reduce isolation, and strengthen relationships with themselves and others. She works through panic and trauma symptoms, money and financial stress, and responses to narcissistic behavior. The focus is on step-by-step conversation and concrete understanding rather than abstract theory.
To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and Nancy does not accept international clients at this time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Nancy describes a person-centered approach that focuses on the client's own knowledge of their story. In practice this means time in sessions for the client to tell what matters, and for the therapist to reflect and help identify strengths and next steps. This approach helps with relationship conflict, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.She also uses Brainspotting, a brain-focused technique that locates where the body holds emotional distress and supports processing trauma and intense reactions. Attachment theory and personality mapping are used to spot recurring patterns in relationships and to plan practical changes for communication and boundaries.
Finding which method fits best is part of the work together. Nancy will discuss options and try approaches that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Session logistics such as format and scheduling should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins at midday, fewer travel demands, or being able to join from a quieter place. Confirm the exact session formats available when you sign up so you can plan what will work best.
