About Nancy

Nancy Neukomm is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressure, addictions, trauma, grief, and other life changes. Her work also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, anger, and intimacy-related issues.

She uses clear, practical methods in session. Conversations focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. She listens, reflects what someone is saying, and suggests small, doable changes to daily routines and interactions.

Over her career she has worked in a range of settings. That experience includes volunteer and paid roles in shelter programs, group work, a prison ministry with male residents, and a local food pantry. She has run counseling programs and supervised other counselors, including supervising an intern from Walden University.

Sessions often combine Client-Centered techniques with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused ideas. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices to address communication and emotional patterns. The result is a mix of talking, skill practice, and short exercises people can use at home.

People who come for help are usually looking for straightforward support with daily stressors, relationship tension, parenting strain, or longstanding patterns that keep reappearing. She encourages small milestones and regular, practical steps toward clearer communication and better coping.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says. Online sessions can use that approach to help people talk through parenting strain, relationship tension, or overwhelming stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to plan small behavioral experiments or coping steps to try between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses and interaction patterns. It can help people notice how emotions shape arguments and practice different ways of responding to loved ones.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, daily routines, and preferences, and together they will choose methods that suit the situation. That collaborative process guides whether more CBT, EFT, or mindfulness practices are emphasized.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also support using real-life examples from home to practice new skills between appointments.
