About Nancy
Nancy Orlopp is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, and life shifts. She listens carefully and aims to make each session a clear step toward coping, healing, or better daily functioning. Nancy uses straightforward language and practical strategies so clients know what to expect from week to week.
She draws on eight years of clinical experience in New York to guide conversations about intimacy, mood changes, career stress, sleep problems, and identity concerns.
How Nancy works
Sessions combine open listening with targeted skills practice to manage overwhelming feelings and rebuild trust in oneself and relationships. Nancy also supports people navigating ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the effects of past abuse. Her work blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs.
Techniques from client-centered therapy help people feel heard. Emotionally focused and Gottman-method ideas help when the core issue is connection or communication. Dialectical behavior therapy tools add concrete skills for emotional regulation when intense distress is present.
Nancy emphasizes collaboration. She and the client set goals together and check progress regularly. Treatment plans are practical and adjust as needs change, whether the priority is coping strategies, grief processing, or improving intimate communication.
She practices with attention to cultural and identity concerns, including LGBT issues and neurodiversity. Sessions are offered in English and are geared toward adults seeking thoughtful, respectful care.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist offers a nonjudgmental space and reflects what the client says so they feel understood and can find their own solutions. It helps with building self-awareness and making decisions about relationships and life changes.Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, brings concrete tools for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Skills include mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation, which are useful for handling intense stress, mood swings, and persistent worry.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings in close relationships and on changing interaction patterns that cause pain. This approach helps people identify underlying emotions and try new ways of communicating when connection or intimacy is a concern.
Nancy will work together with each client to choose which approach or combination feels most helpful. That decision is based on the client's goals, current struggles, and personal preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts methods so the plan stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for conversational depth and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework, or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and let people keep therapy consistent around work and life demands.
