Background and approach
Nancy also supports people who are coping with major life changes. That includes separation, grief, shifting roles, and the kinds of transitions that destabilize routine and confidence. She works with clients to build coping skills and a clearer sense of direction.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns over her career, including chronic pain and illness, body image, codependency, and issues rooted in family of origin. First responder issues, divorce and separation, and recovery from domestic violence are also within her experience. When requested, Nancy can include non-traditional tools such as Emotional Freedom Techniques alongside other methods.
Her work is collaborative - she helps people decide what feels most useful. The goal is steady progress and more usable coping strategies for everyday life.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Two approaches commonly used in this practice are trauma-informed work and skills-based coping strategies. Trauma-informed work focuses on understanding how past harm affects present reactions and helps people reduce distressing symptoms. Skills-based coping teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, improving mood, and handling everyday stressors.Nancy can also incorporate Emotional Freedom Techniques when clients request non-traditional options; this is offered alongside other evidence-based techniques rather than as a standalone promise of results. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session with face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, shorter updates, and ongoing support between fuller sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
