Her approach centers on collaboration. She treats each person as the expert on their life while offering structure and skills when needed.
How Nancy works
Sessions emphasize small, doable steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Nancy uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to match the needs of each person. She helps people recognize thoughts and patterns that get in the way and then practices new ways of responding.
This can include goal-setting, values clarification, and skills for handling strong feelings. She has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, and substance concerns.
Nancy also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness work. Nancy practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. Her style aims to be warm, respectful, and focused on practical progress.
She invites people to take one small step and see what changes begin to happen.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people feel understood so they can use their own strengths to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face interaction and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a solid choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, and flexible communication between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
