She also uses motivational interviewing to build readiness for change and solution-focused methods to set short-term, realistic goals. These methods are used flexibly to match the concern at hand.

People come to her for help with grief and loss, coping after trauma, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and navigating life transitions.

Nancy holds licensure as an LMHC and as an LPC and practices in Florida. Her style is patient and steady, aiming to make therapy feel like a useful part of everyday life. She encourages people to try small changes and notice what helps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood. Online sessions let that process continue through conversation and shared work on goals, which can help with grief, trauma, and self-worth issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions CBT can include talking through thought records, setting small behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between meetings.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to make changes and builds readiness at their pace. It is useful when someone is unsure about change, such as with substance use or managing mood symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about current concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility that fits many lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text-based messaging suits people who prefer written updates. These options make it easier to schedule sessions during work breaks, manage follow-ups between meetings, and keep momentum on goals.
