Nancy Brighton , LCSW

Nancy Brighton is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and major life changes. She brings more than five decades of experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She believes each person knows their own story and already has strengths to draw on. Nancy works to create a calm space for people to name what feels hard and try new ways of coping. Her style is steady and respectful, aimed at building skills and realistic plans.

Nancy uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to match a person's needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to shift unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take meaningful steps. Attachment-based perspectives help when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current struggles.

Sessions often focus on concrete tools for sleep, mood, eating, and managing anger or addictive urges. She also supports people facing grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, parenting pressures, and challenges tied to identity and intimacy.

People can expect clear goals, practical homework when helpful, and a steady emphasis on strengths. Nancy practices in Florida as an LCSW and offers sessions suited to today’s busy lives.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on action tied to personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses to reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, eating concerns, and mood changes.

Nancy will work together with each person to find the best therapeutic fit. That means discussing goals, trying approaches, and adjusting methods based on how well they help. The selection of tools and pace is a collaborative decision that evolves over time.

Online formats offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let conversations feel more like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coping plans, or supplemental contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still working toward concrete goals.
