Background and approach

Clients who have medical or caregiving burdens, chronic pain, or cancer-related concerns may also find her approach helpful. Nancy blends several ways of working to match each person's needs. She uses Existential therapy to help people find meaning and navigate life changes.

She works at the client’s pace and emphasizes practical steps that can be used between sessions. The goal is not only to reduce distress but to build everyday patterns that increase well-being. Nancy offers a collaborative planning process that sets clear, realistic goals.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Existential therapy helps people examine meaning, values, and the big choices that shape a life. It invites honest conversation about what matters and supports people facing loss, transitions, and questions about purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while taking actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, offering reflective listening and validation to build a safer space for change.

Nancy treats finding the right approach as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on how things are going.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and skills practice. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter contacts, written reflections, and ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum while working toward goals.
