About Nancy
Nancy Marts brings 45 years of social work experience to her practice. She is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in North Carolina. Nancy began helping people in 1976 and has kept a steady focus on practical support ever since.
Her background includes work in juvenile programs, hospital trauma and surgery units, home health and hospice, and psychiatric care across inpatient and outpatient settings. That range shaped a generalist approach and a long familiarity with life transitions.
How Nancy works
She often helps people who feel knocked off course by illness, a major loss, or a sudden change in responsibilities. Nancy uses straightforward conversation and skill-building in sessions. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them name small steps that can make day-to-day life easier.
She also offers coaching-style guidance when people want focused help with goals like sleep, career decisions, or managing mood swings. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family strains, and parenting stress. She also works with issues such as ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns.
Nancy describes therapy as a shared journey. She does not promise fixes, but she focuses on practical coping tools and steady progress. Her style suits people who want honest conversation, clear techniques, and a therapist who draws on many years of varied clinical experience.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's needs. It focuses on understanding where someone is now and helping them set goals that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect and uses simple exercises to change patterns that keep someone stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.Nancy will help figure out which approach or combination fits best. That decision is collaborative - she talks with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable. Together they try methods and adjust based on what works in real life.
Online therapy through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging makes sessions more flexible. Video calls are useful for longer discussions and skill work. Phone sessions can work when camera use is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are good for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, and keeping progress between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily circumstances.
