How her approaches work in online therapy

Nancy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term method that helps people define concrete goals and notice small changes that move them forward. This approach can speed up progress on problems like communication breakdowns, workplace stress, and coping after separation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Nancy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy proceeds.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce the need to travel. Therapists can guide practical exercises, help with behavior experiments, and review progress between meetings to keep momentum.
