Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Nancy uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist follows their needs; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients and couples understand and process emotional responses, strengthening connection and addressing patterns that contribute to distress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nancy collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative orientation helps clients feel involved and empowered in their care.
Online therapy with Nancy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and mobility limitations. Working with licensed professionals in this format can make starting and maintaining therapy more accessible while preserving a consistent therapeutic relationship across different communication options.
